Yup... that's right, now I remember :). Project for tomorrow - get
Rexcpm working again... and keep better notes.

Rexcpm doesn't have NVRAM so it's probably erased by now. You will
have to reload it with software

I found my notes on the serial port stuff - thanks to Brian for
desklink+. With a little perseverance, I was able to get the
transfer stuff working on Linux. I made the transition off of
MacOS this past year, but my notes are still Mac centric. Linux
sure has come a long way... much easier to work with than back in
the 90's (I say this from Linux Mint 21.3 "Virginia"). It is so
easy to interface the linux machine to practically anything...
Anyhow, I remembered what the ROM thing was - RexCPM. Tomorrow,
I'll try digging out those notes and seeing about getting that
running.... or is it already running? It's definitely attached,
but it's been on the shelf a looong time now and I seem to recall
something about the version I have loses its mind or something
when shelved. No worries, thankfully I've got great notes... oh,
wait, my notes suck!
Which brings me to today's lesson - keep good notes :). Date them,
organize them, be sure to say what works and what doesn't and
what's needed to get things working. The serial note wasn't
horrible, but it's much better now. The RexCPM note, practically
non-existent... and apparently, I didn't think notes mentioning
that TEENY needs upper case, that Q is quit, that you exit BASIC
with MENU, that Shift-Break is how you stop programs or pretty
much anything useful down the road was worth noting. Now, I know
better, off to write a better "Pull the M100 off the shelf and
here are some things you should know/remember..." note.
Later,
Will
