Jonathan,
>From what you described, mComm and your cable are working properly. FFFFFF.XX
>(C=KLSQ) isn't an error message. Those are the instructions for TEENY. K=Kill,
>L=Load, S=Save, Q=Quit.
Just the fact that you were able to load both TEENY and TS-DOS indicates the
cable is working.
The quickest way to test this is to write a DO file in TEXT and then go to
TS-DOS or TEENY and save it to the Android device. Then delete it from your
m100 and reload it. If that works, then everything is working properly. If not,
then it's something else. I'm not familiar with your device but double check to
see if your have a TPDD folder when you plug it into your PC. mComm is supposed
to create one when it first runs. Also, mComm is very specific on filenames.
They must be FFFFFF.XX format where the filename is only 6 characters long and
an extension 2 characters long. And one last note. If you are trying to load a
basic file from the club 100 site, keep in mind that they have all been
converted to .do (TEXT) files but their extensions were left as a .ba (BASIC)
file. Loading one will fail unless you first change the extension to .DO.
Hope that helps.

Hello,
I've been playing with mcomm, but it seems to give some trouble. There are
enough hacked together pieces in the chain of devices that I am not sure where
to start.
I'm running it on a Samsung S4 but the I9502 version (sold only in China) and
Lineage OS (Android 7.1.2)
I have a USB on the go adapter and an FTDI USB adapter, but the latter was
bought on ebay from some place in Asia. When I plug it into my Linux box,
lsusb reports this for the adapter:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0403:6015 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd
Bridge(I2C/SPI/UART/FIFO)
The Null modem was made with a soldering iron the the connections are the ones
listed in the mcomm documentation.
I have tried to bootstrap both tiny and ts-dos into a model 100. Both seem to
load OK, but have trouble running. Tiny gives me an error
FFFF.XX (C=KLSQ)
I have to use the reset button to get out.
TS-DOS gives me a menu that seems OK (it reports the files in the M100 or in
the virtual disk), but it hangs when I try to download a file.
I have 29638 bytes free after a cold boot, 25878 after loading tiny, and 23733
after loading ts-dos.
Not sure where to start. I thought if I had either tiny or ts-dos in the m100,
I could try things like Laddie Alpha or dlplus, but I'm not sure if the
programs are loading OK.
I have run 'LOAD *COM:981E* as well to get the BASIC program for making ts-dos
or tiny but I'm not sure what the listing should be.
