Quick question: Is the DATE$ format for the UK variant of the Tandy 102 *YY/MM/DD*?
Longer: I ask because I'm trying to use PEEK(1) to extract the year from DATE$, but it seems — and correct me if I'm wrong — that both US and UK variants of the T102 return 167, so I might have to use PEEK(63789)+10*PEEK(63790) instead. Also, if anyone has an Olivetti M10 (US or European or other) or Kyotronic K-85, I'd much appreciate it if they could tell me the result from: ?PEEK(1),DATE$ Here is the table I have so far mapping PEEK(1) IDs to DATE$ formats: ModelDATE$ formatID in PEEK(1)Year (ones place)Year (tens place) Kyocera K85 ? 225 63796 63797 Olivetti M10 Europe ? 35 63796 63797 Olivetti M10 North America ? 125 ? ? NEC PC-8201 NEC PC-8201A YYMMDD 148 63548 63549 NEC PC-8300 YYMMDD 148 ? ? Model 100 (US) DDMMYY 51 63789 63790 Model 102 (US) DDMMYY 167 63789 63790 Model 102 (UK) ? 167 63789 63790 Tandy 200 (US) DDMMYY 171 65333 65334 These are all the Model T's with BASIC that I know of, but I would love to hear if there are any not on my list (For example, I know there were hacks for using the Model 100 in other countries, but were any M100 machines officially sold with a different ROM? Also, it is unclear from the advertisements: did the M10 have Italian, French (AZERTY), and German (QWERTZ) variants?) —b9
