By the way Willard, where did you find the info for SNDCOM and SD232C?
Can you point me to romfuncs-600.pdf and m100_unpublished.asm?  Sounds like
they would be good items to have in my archives.  I'd love to match things
up with what I have for the NEC machines.

In looking at my own documented disassemblies and matching up my NEC memory
mapped locations against what I'm seeing in my disassembly for the M100,
I'd be guessing that 6E32 is the start of SD232C on a Model 100 but I'd
like to see the "official unofficial" docs that you have.
