i took a few minutes to look at my archived information and apparently i was wrong about the system disk. i don't understand it as i don't have any recall of ever using it. however, it was in my archive. i am assuming it is the disk your friend needs. use the link provided to get to my information. images of disks used with the chipmunk drive can be reconstituted using the image and the teledisk program with a computer that has a floppy drive and 720k disks. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=9EB0E72EE55E4704!190&authkey=!AKRi53_xoEOLcPg&ithint=file%2czip

There is a manual for chipmunk drive v3 that says you boot up with a special disk. Maybe only one time to install software like the tpdd, but at least then. The guy I'm talking about has a M100 version. I could not imagine using a m100 bus connected thing like that in a portable context, unless maybe the m100 and the drive were both fixed in a big hard shell briefcase or something like that. So I wonder why it even has batteries! But 1.2amp is no problem today. I got these for all my m100s, t102, tpdd2, ccr-82 http://www.ebay.com/itm/401121147466 -- bkw I have owned a couple of chipmunk drives in the past. as I recall there is no such thing as a system disk for it. it's unlike the Tandy DVI and the TPDD 1 and 2. I'm at work right now but I have to check my files later. things to take note of: the pins are the first weak link as far as operation (let's not get into the m102 problem with it's protected bus) the other weak link is the battery pack. they really need to be changed out, use ni-mh AAs instead as they now have enough amps available. in order to power the device you need a either an adapter that delivers 1.2amps or more OR a lower grade power supply in tandem with CHARGED batteries. the chipmunk needs a lot of current. ________________________________ From: M100 <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Ken Pettit <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Wednesday, June 1, 2016 10:23:22 PM To: Model 100 Discussion Subject: Re: [M100] Chipkunk drive system disk. No worries mate. I have actually visited the Facebook page once or twice when I logged into Facebook (which isn't that often ... maybe once / month). I'm not a big social media user.

It came up as a tangent from a thread about the tpdd-2 boot/ipl process. If you tend to answer, then where is this answer? What part of my question makes any difference who asks it? *maybe* all I wanted to do is check that yes/no answer, since I'm already conveniently subscribed, and then make exactly that suggestion if the answer had been yes. -- bkw On Jun 1, 2016 1:05 PM, "Ken Pettit" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Maybe post something to the Facebook group that they should join the mailing list and ask questions.
