I also have noticed a problem with installing REX fresh on an NEC
PC-8300. I have two of them that work, and one that doesn't. I was able
after about thirty minutes to a fresh install of the REX software on one
of my NEC machines, but the other one still hangs up during the stage
where the memory banks are being erased It has to be a subtle difference
between the 8201 and the 8300 that causes it. I gave up on the one and
inserted a TS-DOS Rom into it instead of the REX for now.
All of my model 100 computers did well with the update. It was quick and
easy.
I still prefer the Model 100 keyboard to the NEC PC-8300 keyboard. There
is a slight difference that takes getting used to. I also prefer the
Model 100 keyboard to the Notebook PC's that I have. The Capacitance
mouse is a real nuisance, and I can't usually turn it off.

Regarding the last bug. T200 has different treatment of .DO files in
RAM compared to other models. Pointers are used differently.
