For what it's worth, I performed the following and found no trouble.
I checked two files at the Club 100 website:
CHESS.100 4546 (11-19-87)
This is a text file that is the textual equivalent of the BASIC
statements of a chess program for the M10x laptop.
CHESS.DOC 1832 (11-19-87)
This is a text file that is the documentation of the chess program.
After inload of CHESS.100 to my PC the volume size was 4546, as advertised
at the Club 100 website.
Changed the name of file CHESS.100 to CHESS1.DO in preparation for inload to
the M10x.
Using my M102 laptop configured with 21446 bytes free, via
TEENY.CO/DESKLINK.COM I inloaded file CHESS1.DO to the M102.
I terminated the TEENY.CO/DESKLINK.COM session.
Bytes free reduced to 16899, indicating an in-RAM volume of 4547 bytes,
which is correct (4546 plus 1 byte for EOF).
Invoked BASIC, typed NEW, and pressed ENTER.
Typed MERGE"CHESS1.DO" and pressed ENTER. The Wait message flashed and when
tokenization completed then the Ok message appeared.
Typed SAVE"CHESS" and pressed ENTER.
Typed KILL"CHESS1.DO" and pressed ENTER.
Typed MENU and pressed ENTER. The main menu appeared, bytes free was 17812,
and file name CHESS.BA was seen.
Invoked CHESS.BA. Saw the initial screen of the program.
Pressed CTRL+C, program interpretation ended and then the Ok message
appeared.
Typed MENU and pressed ENTER. The main menu appeared, bytes free remained
as 17812.

Subject: Re: [M100] Hey Ken
Just tested the usb and i'm getting full speed out of it, hyperterminal
types out characters fine. I'm currently trying to download Chess from the
games section of the club100 website.

Stephen, this is using my onboard serial, not the usb.

That is bizarre! Perhaps the usb to serial thing is hardwired to 9600.

open a connection and when i typed on the M100 the chacters coming up on the
pc where currupt. I slowed the connection down to 9200 and suddenly I'm
working. I think if i recall my onboard serial port goes funny at anything
higher then 9600 when talking to the M100.
