Hi Robert, couple of comments. 1) test your REXCPM. you can always test it yourself and see if you have a hardware problem https://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REXCPM read up on how to load and run REXCPM. I would not do this if you are happy with the REX# part of the install. In fact if that is working, likely no hardware problem. There is only one memory chip and it is used for both REX# and CPM.
2) Philip's routines more or less rely on LaddieAlpha to operate. I would recommend you use LaddieAlpha as the TPDD client. This is because the files are binary files with a .BK extension. Also, make sure you load and run CPMUPD.CO after you power off, power on. This is to ensure you are in the default RAM config. cheers Steve On Sat, Oct 15, 2022 at 5:24 PM Robert Hutchins <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > Having trouble installing CPM into my Model 100 with the RexCPM ROM kit. > > I get the REX part installed, but am unable to get CPMUPD to do its job… > > > > It either just hangs, doing nothing or sometimes it will work, but then, > when it > > prompts for the CPM file (CPM210.bk) it refuses to load this.
