Mike,
Yes, using the TELCOM mode is limited to .DO files or untokenized .BA files
(which will tokenize while loading in Basic). The latest version is also a TPDD
server and a Sardine dictionary disk server.

Excellent! I understood that Mcomm can only transfer .DO files; can it also
transfer .BA and .CO files? m

REX
Well I have some good news! What James with some M100 related good news?!
Say it aint so!! ha
My hat has to go off to Kurt and MCOMM, I was able to set it up an hour ago
with the minimal amount of fuss and all is working. I've downloaded software
and also loaded software through BASIC using the "COM:98N1E" command.
AND....AND!! All through my machines onboard serial port! The machine has about
4 com ports, two of which are actually on the back of the machine. So I
disabled all the others, including the printer port and result!! Back working
in Windows!
I've spoken to Stephen and it looks like I'm sending the REX back to him for
study. If it turns out that it's not faulty, then the problem has to be with my
odd M100. Either it's faulty or due to being dramatically different to other
M100's. It is somehow incompatible with the REX module. I would like to send
Stephen my M100, but Canada is a long way and I just dont trust the post man
not to bang it. It's a pity, because I'm sure if i sent it him, he could give
it some scrutiny and figure out how my model differs to US machines. Should be
worth a paragraph on the M100 wiki at the very least :P
BTW guys, i was given a floppy drive a while back. I've bought a cable for it
off Ken, but I'm guessing I need software to access the drive? If so, could
anyone point me in the right direction. I've no way of knowing if this drive
works, I'm aware the belts do perish.

Not worth the trouble IMO; you'll want a null modem cable anyway for
transferring files down the road, so why not just use TEENY etc. or Mcomm to
begin with. m

Sadly I don't, are they way to get hold of? On 28 May 2015 6:04 am, "John R.

Also assumes he has a cassette cable.
But I do have an audio file of it somewhere if it's needed.
