Yeah, the Club100 web site could certainly use a little update... ;-)
Meanwhile as noted, you'll find everything you need at Bitchin100.com.
You can't beat the price and utility of the REX, but before it became readily
available some folks just replaced the system ROM with a 27C512 holding the
system ROM plus a ROM image like TS-DOS, a socket, a couple of diodes and a
resistor. That does preclude any other option ROMs in its socket however and
only works for late model M100s using a JEDEC-standard 27256-compatible socket.

Subject: Re: [M100] TS-DOS Option ROM
I thought about the REX#, but it looks discontinued. There aren't any links
on that page to order anything, and no contact information. Not even a name.
Super sketchy.
If I was going to get a REX, I'd get the CP/M version, as I'm a CP/M
enthusiast. But $100 is more than I can do this close to Christmas. That's why
I thought if I could find a TS-DOS chip, it might be cheap enough to tide me
over.
I recently bought one of those Backpack SD card storage devices. The TS-DOS
option ROM will work with that, right?

You could build a plain rom with only ts-dos,

but it ends up costing almost the same as a REX# anyway plus more work.
