I never saw this post to the list because gmail placed in spam. I don't
think you did anything wrong obviously, I'm just saying that might explain
why you didn't see it or get any responses. I just saw it in spam because I
happened to need to look in there for something else. There were probably
10 random m100 list posts in there, even though other posts went right to
inbox.

By now we've already talked about this on the facebook group and I answered
there so I have nothing more to add here, except that I can walk through
all of the actual steps on camera just so you can verify that you aren't
missing some detail that isn't described clearly in the docs and screen
prompts, and verify if some part of your kit is not behaving the same as
mine, exposing the culprit to focus in on.

Ok, here’s my first set of questions for the list :)


I have a TRS-80 Model 102, a USB 2 Serial Adapter and a Null Modem Cable.
The connection seems to be working but I’m having some issues. I’m trying
to use TEENY.EXE. The documentation says that when run on the PC and
connected to the 102 with the NULL Modem Cable, that it will install the
TEENY code required to the Model 100/102. When I did this, the 102 woke up
and started to transfer something and I got an error. This pretty much
tells me that my serial connection is working. From the instructions, it
seemed that TEENY.EXE would find the port and connect which it apparently
did…however since I got errors, I suppose that COM settings may not be
correct. Here’s what I see on the 102.

I ran “COM:98N1ENN per the docs on the 102.
TEENY was run on the PC
The 102 then got a ?DS Error
 and at the bottom it shows:

File Load Save Run  List        Menu

At this point, 102 appears to be locked up, I’m assuming it’s waiting for
COM input but I can’t get it to break out. F8,  doesn’t do a thing and
Power OFF/ON doesn’t do it either.

This brings me to another question. Without resetting and loosing what’s
stored in Memory, is there some way to break out of Lockups like this?

My main Goal is to use my NULL cable to transfer files/programs back and
forth between the PC and the 102 with software without upgrading the ROM.
What’s simplest way to do this?
