Re: [M100] Looking for a T200

2021-11-29 Thread Benjamin Forster
Hi Patrick:  I have a Model 200 with manual (and perhaps some accessories (I 
have to check for those). It depends on what you mean by "reasonable". It is 
missing the battery cover, but I jury-rigged one out of hard plastic, so that 
functions just fine. It has one bank of memory. There are screen problems, 
insofar as the screen does not respond to keyboard input, including power 
on/off. The screen only appears intermittently.  When the screen shows, the 
screen clock is working.  The screen is unscratched; the keyboard seems in good 
shape, though it has been moderately used. It may be a screen cable problem. 
There is no case damage, though there was a security cable attached at one 
point. Back in the late '80s it worked just fine.
Regards
Ben

Subject: [M100] Looking for a T200

Having recently acquired a Model 100 and definitely have the “vintage bug”, I 
am looking for a working T200 in reasonable shape.  Does anyone have one for 
sale?

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi:  I've got  an M200 -- actually I may have more than one. What state of

So, due to popular demand (one d00d asked) I've started putting
together a m200.def to match m100.def.  This will hopefully lead to an
equally (in)capable m200smallclib, but first things first!!!

This is complicated by the fact that I don't have a m200... This is
pre-alpha completely untested stuff!

So, starting from the club100 scan of the m200 techref, there are some
addresses I just can't read. They are:
CHPLPT
SNDCOM(*)
INZCOM

(*)also need to know if SNDCOM is the same evil hack of "jump into the
middle of sd232 (which preserves BC) so we need a dummy value on the
stack" as the m100 call.

Also, to get smallclib's cstart.a85 fully working I need the m200
versions of these:
RSTDOG (1bb1h on m100)
POWERFLAG (0f932h on m100)


Last week was hell at work so I haven't had a chance to do any other
research. URLs to other m200 assembly docs welcome!

Lastly, anybody have a m200 for sale? :-)

Re: [M100] Replacement rubber feet

2020-12-28 Thread Benjamin Forster
I use a four C-sized battery pack I clothed in foam and car-cleaning goat 
leather many years ago -- the battery pack provides long-life power supply for 
the 100. I do have four stainless steel (?) rods that fit the support holes and 
provide about 2 1/4 extension outside of the 100 body, which can be anybody's 
for the cost of postage. They do need rubber feet. I've had those since the 
1980s

The reel to reel collection is audio. I collected a lot in the late 1990s and 
early 2000s, and my wife has been complaining that the entire basement has

Kinda sounds like the symptoms of a bad memory nicd (I get the same thing on 
T200 when the memory supercap isn't charged after it's been sitting without 
batteries; this is why I'm going to change the supercap back to a nimh battery 
because the T200 doesn't handle lack of memory battery voltage very well).  
Does it refuse to power off when you press the power button while the screen is 
rolling/flickering?

Thanks, but I specifically want a NON-working 100/102. I'm not interested in 
the 200. And I would like to get one that has a keyboard that at least looks 
like it would work. Thanks for your response!

I'm somewhat interested in doing one of those "Raspberry Pi in a 100 case" 
projects. Does anyone have a dead 100/102 for sale, and at what price? Due to 
the nature of the project, the screen could be total trash (even gone), the PCB 
etc. doesn't matter... only thing important would be an intact keyboard.

If you have one to get rid of, shoot me a price (and shipping)... off or on

Hi:  I'm now in the process of resurrecting my small fleet of WP2s and Tandy 
100s (I think I have eight in total), which more than 20 years ago I had used 
for research with research assistants!  While I will sell most of them, as I no 
longer do any work with research assistants, I will keep a couple, as I find 
the screen and keyboards easy on the eyes and hands.  I will have to do some 
work on the batteries of course
I would like to order REX/CPM for one of the ones that I am keeping. I hope I 
am not too late at the order desk, Steve!
