NADS isn't cheap, I know. I didn't buy it, not because I couldn't, but because I didn't have the use for it. There are plenty of alternatives, mostly based on emulating the Tandy PDD. For some inspiration, see http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=Model_T_File_Transfer Basically, a lot of computing devices with a number of OSses can emulate a TPDD, and can be used to store files, and to exchange these with other computers.
Anyway, you surely knew this. There is a new development going on, that basically will re-unite all of the NADSbox functionality, but will not be based on a unique design, but will be based on the famous raspberry Pi. This little 35$ computer will provide the processing power, and a little Pi-hat card will provide the I/O. Some programming and voilà, a functional and powerfull TPDD emulator, with extra functions. This was announced a few weeks/months(?) ago. I am looking forward to it. I hope it will as good as it imagine it to be.

Alot of Model 100 users do not have the MONEY to buy the NADSBox. Plus it is hard to get one if someone needs to get one. > Ken is a regular of this list, but has busy periods and life intrusions like the rest of us. > > I think the NADS run has completed, and it was deemed uneconomical to make another run. Probably best to consult the list archive for that reasonably recent discussion.
