…and a bunch of questions!!
New M100 owner here, having just acquired one in pretty good condition, and (seemingly) fully working, from eBay. I really do love this laptop! Wonderful keyboard, elegant and simple, functional and yet not stuffed with nonsense I have no need for. And I have to say, I learnt everything (long-since forgotten now) on a TRS-80 Model 1, a couple of whole generations ago, so the M100 feels very familiar. But, here’s the thing: It’s so good to use, I want to put it to use, but that means some way of moving files off it, preferably to a 2017-vintage iMac, or possibly a Windows 10 workstation. But how? I’d have bought a NADSbox and done it via an SD card, which seems the best way, but there aren’t any to buy, of course. All the talk of null modems and terminal commands are a mystery to me, not least because I have no starting point in what I’m looking for or how to use it. I have ordered an Android TV Box TPDD Server from arcadeshopper.com because it looked like it might help, but that’s only because it was pictured connected to an M100! I write a ton of reports and proposals, and the M100 keyboard is way better than anything I have to type on otherwise! I also plan to (re)learn BASIC and write some of my own software for it, and I’d like to have somewhere to load from/save to. So, the questions are: Well, firstly, does anyone have a NADSbox in working condition they don’t want? No? I thought not. Well, then… deep breath and speaking as a newbie, what do I need, where from, and how do I get it to work?! By the way, when I bought the M100, I had no idea there was still a thriving community of users, let alone a good, old-fashioned mailing list! I am really impressed!!! And the 100 is really cool too! Thanks in advance, Andy
