Definitely a useful tool; simple to implement and in practice most people are probably just transferring text files anyway.
And apparently it also has a bonus function that can repair Windows com port problems... ;-) m ----- Original Message ----- From: Kurt McCullum To: Model 100 Discussion Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 12:02 PM Subject: Re: [M100] Update on my M100 and REX 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. Kurt On Thursday, May 28, 2015 8:50 AM, Mike Stein <[email protected]> wrote: Excellent!

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.
