James,
The one thing mComm requires to handle both TELCOM and TPDD requests is a full
null cable. The pinouts are in the Manual.DO file that gets installed. Without
the DSR lines it will just sit there. Other than that, picking the wrong serial
port would do the same thing.
One thing to check is when you first type "term" and hit enter, watch the
status box on your Windows box. It should say "TPDD service started" and then
"TELCOM service started".
Are you using version 1.6?

Hit the enter key when you first enter terminal mode. That will switch mComm
over to TELCOM mode and you should see a message that says Testing screen size.
As far as memory. That number indicates you have a 24k machine.

Just wondering whether it is corrupted or if your ram in your laptop is
corrupted. You might want to do a cold start and try transferring some other
files to build some confidence in the setup.

Ken you sound like my car, I just had my 1977 Austin Princess in the garage and
since she came out, hills seem more of a struggle then they used to be lol
Ok so i need some hand holding if anyone can spare me a minute. I've got the
RED Manager loaded up, I followed the guide and made a new backup called
"Games". My plan was to have Lunar.ba installed and what ever else I could fit
in to the memory. However it keeps telling me that the ram is full, even though
I haven't downloaded anything from the PC. I have 21137 Bytes free.
So in Rex Manager / Group / Ram
I have
GAMES* BACKUP --------
Under Rom I have
TS-DOS* UR2100 -------
I'm trying to add the program via the TS-DOS, but it wont let me do it :/
I'm still pretty new to this, so i know I must be going wrong somewhere.

Hey James,
Yeah, I noticed it had gone out to the list also, but no big deal. Glad to
hear you got it working ... the pins on the OptROM socket can be troublesome at
times.
I haven't been very active with Club100 of late ... been battling that cardio
thing again and was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago getting more stents.
I think I'm up to 17 now. But after this last round, I haven't been as
energetic as I usually am after getting the pipes opened up, so not sure what's
going on there.

It's actually gone out to the list by accident. But that's no problem, I might
need the help of my fellow m100 users. As I keep trying to load Lander.ba and
get told I don't have enough ram :-/On 9 Oct 2015 6:06 pm, "Kurt McCullum"

James,
Glad to hear you got your REX working but I think you meant to send this email
to Steve and not me since he is the one who creates those modules.

I've not had much time to play with the REX module, but thought I should let
you know I think I know what was causing all the bother.
When I got the module back from you, i had some issues getting it to work.
Eventually I did get it to come up and display. Today however the rex manager
vanished again and the whole computer locked up with no picture. I got it back
working but with no rex, spent the past hour carefully bending the pins and the
REX is back...Perhaps the pins on my machine are a little worn or shaped in
such a way that its enough to fudge up working with the rex module.
Now its up and working, I'm hoping I can copy some rom images over to the rex :D
All the best
James
