A M100 with only 24k installed RAM will report less free RAM than that because system variables, files take up space. I think a T200 has 24k "installed RAM" per bank, up to 3 banks. So memory capacity isn't necessarily a problem in your case. Software incompatibilities would probably have more to do with ROM entry points and memory map. Screen size difference. Display hardware is different. BASIC programs would be most likely to work without modification since the applications operate on top of BASIC which abstracts the hardware. --- John. >
