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?)
