Success! Thanks to the excellent work of Steven Adolph and Philip Avery I now have the Model 100 running natively as a M-100 with the UR-II in REXCPM in one of the ROM slots, and can switch to CPM at the press of a Ctl-C at any time. It reports the full 4Mb available.
I started with a M-100 that had an actual UR-II ROM in it. Then: 1. Removed the UR-II ROM. 2. Took apart the machine to install a new memory backup battery. 3. Reassembled machine, Verified operation: good. 4. Installed REXCPM per the website instructions. 5. Used NADSBox to transfer required files to the M-100. - I remembered that NADSBox has a command line interface which worked well. 6. Followed the instructions on bitchin100.com carefully, and it looks like it worked. I also transferred some executables from my Kaypro to this machine and they work as well: - D.COM (A better directory lister) - SWEEP.COM (also known as New Sweep, file operations program) - Wordstar 3.3, which runs but as we discussed, will not fit on an 8x40 char screen, and being configured for the Kaypro, likes to write a *lot* of control characters to the screen. I'm looking through my CPM catalog for other programs to copy over. I already know that the Z-80 specific programs are currently not usable, such as Turbo Pascal and VDE. So far, the programs that I've got are working so I'm pleased. I will definitely look into other full-screen programs that don't need Z80, such as VEDIT40 :-) What is the best way to make these programs available to others? Cheers, Bert
