Regarding REX, I got mine from Stephen Adolph for my NEC. I highly recommend REX as well.

LaddieAlpha is a great program for transferring files from the PC, once you have TS-DOS installed on the 100. The other must-have accessory, in my opinion, is the REX. After putting one in my T-102, I don't know how I could use that computer without one. Its biggest feature is the ability to swap out RAM to its flash storage, and right behind that is the ROM storage. I can throw any M100/T102 ROM on there that I want, and REX will not only let me switch out ROMs, but it can even install the hooks automatically, so I don't need to remember the CALL statement for every single module. I think the current REX is the "REX#". Looking back through the mailing list, you should be able to find the person making them.

What do you envision yourself doing with the M100? The biggest issue you may have is getting data and programs to & from the Model 100. I suspect you will use RS-232 with a terminal emulator program. I use Tera Term. The backpack drive is also a great method in that it uses a micro SD card. I bought mine from Jeff Birt. It doesn't get much more slicker than that. See his video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3es0NLJmd2c. To get your own, you will need to contact him.

The TRS-80 Model 100 was my second real computer. In the mid 80s I worked-part time at Radio Shack, while going to college. My first real computer purchase was a 64K Color Computer 2, then about a year later I bought a Model 100. I have spent the better part of the last year re-learning the Color Computer hardware and software, and I have decided to do the same for the Model 100. If there are any good resources for someone just getting back to the Model 100 after a few decades, please send the links! Best regards, Carlos Nunez
