I pulled the option ROM out and plugged it back in and tried printing chr$ of $0000 to $8000 again. I'm getting something different now -- no alternating patterns, just a bunch of random chr$, so something is there. I didn't see any recognizable English words, though which is odd if there was some program in there.

Take a look at a back issue of Portable 100 for the ads. For example, go to http://www.club100.org/library/libp100.html and near the bottom right side of the page, select "Vol. 9 No. 9 Sep/Nov 1992” to download or view that issue of P100. (Direct link to the PDF: Vol. 9 No. 9 Sep/Nov 1992<ftp://ftp.whtech.com/club100/doc/p100-9208.pdf>) See the ad for the XR4 on page 2 as indicated by a PDF reader. (The actual magazine's page is CII, the inside of the front cover.) The OWL weather logger ad appears on page 19 (magazine page 17). EME’s ROMBO and extRAM show on page 28 (magazine page 26). I don’t know if the EME Systems address and phone numbers are still valid. I’m sure other mention of EME Systems has been made on this mailing list. Tracy himself may even have posted. Maybe check the archives? I hope this info helps lead you to the info you need. — Nuge — On Mar 12, 2017, at 9:56 AM, hargarg trurthsr <[email protected]<javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]');>> wrote: I have a model 102 with 32k ram expansion which I got in the 80's. I just recently rediscovered it in closet and found some rom installed in the option rom slot. It has an eme systems logo on it, but I have no idea what it is. I've already tried calling 63012 and 63013 and the computer just freezes when I do that. Is there any way to figure out what the rom is from basic ?
