So I have 2 model 100s, one I got as a backup that has a small scratch
on the screen.
The backup I tried recapping last weekend... and thought I'd killed it.
I just got it working again (pulled the mb and scrubbed the back with
isopropyl alcohol using a toothbrush).
So I had had a classic REX in my main M100, and I pulled it to install
in my backup.
iirc, I had v 4.8 (.48?) , and I believe 4.9 is the latest. Can anyone
share how to flash the new version to the rom?
If I successfully recap the main M100, I intend installing the REXCP/M
in it. Would I flash the lastest firmware the same way? If now, how
should I go about doing that?
Also, is it possible to replace the main rom with a rom image on the
REX, fixing the Y2K? I'd like to have Ultimate ROM 2, and someday I'd
like to create a custom ROM to replace the BASIC interpreter with
Small-C or maybe a primitive Python-alike; or maybe just an assembler,
if nothing else. That way I could write compilable (or assemble-able)
programs for it, on it.
Also also, what's the other rom socket for? I've forgotten :(
(I've been fafiated from playing with my Model 100s for awhile now; hope
to start using them as terminals and for writing, soon)
