The NC100 has BBC BASIC under the hood. You have to dig to find it. It's a quintessential Z80 computer, turned Wordprocessor. It has a few communication options but no DOS functionality.

Thanks John,I was afraid of that. I wonder if it has some kind of DOS built into it.KurtOn Tue, Sep 24, 2019, at 12:52 PM, John R.

As it would make the device really damn handy. Atm I have to serial to my phone a xmodem from the Amstrad to the phone.

I do know that the WP-2 gives mixed results with mComm. I have read that blog post which seemed to indicate that it works on the WP-2 but user reports here on the list indicate that it doesn't work reliably. If I end up with a WP-2 at some point I'll address it but for now I'd say you are better off with LaddieAlpha for the WP-2.KurtOn Tue, Sep 24, 2019, at 12:09 PM, James wrote:So I use mcomm exclusively with my M100. However I recently saw a blog about someone using a Tandy WP-2. I have an Amstrad NC100 which I think is the same thing but rebadged.Was just wondering Kurt could tell me if he knew if it'll work with a NC100 computer.
