Are you sure you're using the same TPDD emulator & any usb-serial cable
as previously? LaddieAlpha is rock solid in my experience and CPMUPD
will work, presuming REXCPM is operating normally.

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 <http://CPMUPD.CO> after
you power off, power on. This is to ensure you are in the default RAM
config.
cheers

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. Just
sits there hung…
Any ideas would be welcome.
At one point in the past, I did have it working, but it expired
(batteries all died) .
Is there any chance the memory in the RexCPM device is failing…
Thank you
Robert J. Hutchins
