You might be right, but would't you rather wait untill I've opened up my '100 to get proof?
But tell me, why bother to 'repair' a Model 100? Why did the previous owner do that? - Because the machine is, and always has been, a QWERTY-machine. (I can tell by the yellowing) So, getting the character set right, in order to have proper AZERTY operation (see my reply and remark in the thread 'Layout') was NOT the motive. - Would you repair your computer to correct a trig error? I would't. Not very likely that that was the motive, either. So, the 'repair' also might have been something else completely... I'm going to open this machine, and check for new ROMs. Since, AFAIK, the ROM from the 102 was a SMD, they couldn't have taken out a Model 102 ROM and plugged it in to a Model 100. So, they must have used an (E)PROM. How do I recognise that? I'm going to use these as references: http://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/cracking-open-the-tandy-model-100/ http://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/tandy-trs-80-model-100-teardown/ Any others I should consider? Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80_Model_100#/media/File:TRS-80_Model-100_Inside.jpg Can you tell me where to look for the ROM? Wich chip is it?

Or are they located in different chips? There is only one 32K system ROM. So the system ROM in your Model 100 definitely is "repaired" in the sense that the trig error is corrected and it includes the Pi character. In other words, that particular Model 100 acts like a Model 102!

I don't know what the repair was, unless there is someone who has all the Tandy codes for the different repairs possible. (If such a list exists) But I'm afraid that there is no alternative but to open up my Model 100 and see if there was anything changed inside. I'll take photos along the way, so that people who know - you know who you are - can tell me if there is anything strange or modified on my '100. Would changing the main ROM - to correct the trig error - also modify the character set? Or are they located in different chips?
