So here's what I did...
I started by extracting the ZIP file to the ROM100 directory under my
LaddieAlpha Root. (in my case, that's C:\Model 100\root\rom100)
So I have
RF149.CO <http://RF149.CO>
TSD100.BX
RF149.BR <http://RF149.BR>
Then I started LaddieAlpha.
On my T102, I started RexMgr and activated TS-DOS.
F4 (DISK)
Select the ROM100 directory
Select RF149.CO <http://RF149.CO>, press F1 (Load)

anything worth backing up, so I'm okay with it wiping the whole module.
You can't just launch RF149.CO... instead, start REXMGR and press F7.
This should kill the hook to REX.
Launch BASIC
CLEAR 0,55000
Exit BASIC
Run RF149.CO <http://RF149.CO>
You'll get a warning about wiping the REX software. Press Y to proceed.
At this point, the installer will start reading from your computer with
LaddieAlpha. It took me a minute or so to download (there is a progress
bar in the lower right corner.)
After loading the new firmware, you'll end up back at the main menu. I
would suggest powering the machine off and back on again.
Start BASIC
CLEAR 0,MAXRAM (this releases the memory you reserved with the CLEAR
0,55000 command.)
CALL 63012
After this, REXMGR should be present in the file list.
Refresh the default backup, then you can reload your backed-up images
from your PC using LaddieAlpha.
That's it. You should have the latest REX firmware.

I am ready to update my REX to the latest firmware, but am not
sure on how to proceed.
I read the information on the REX Wiki, and it says: "Load the
rebuild tool: Load into RAM the RFx49.CO file using the TPDD
device". How is this done? I used LaddieAlpha to put the ROM2 option
ROM image in my original REX, and I have instructions for that, but
I don't use a TPDD device with my T102, so am not sure what I need
to get started on the T102 to be able to transfer the .CO file to
RAM. A step-by-step instruction would be helpful here.
I have downloaded the R49_M100T102_260_REBUILD.ZIP and extracted
the files to the PC in the directory where LaddieAlpha is located.
Just need to know how to get the files needed into the T102 RAM to
continue the REX Wiki procedure.
Thanks,
Peter
