Great going Burt.
To make programs available to others, add them to the wiki: (You may
have to get a login from John H).

Otherwise email myself or Steve directly with a link & description of
your program(s).
Thanks

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
