Re: [M100] REX question

Reloading the TSDOS ROM twice in a row seems to fix the issue.  Is that the

Re: [M100] REX question

[David Laffineuse]

In this example I am only switching ROM images, not RAM images.  Rexmanager 
returns version 4.9, checksum 6e83, model Rex, firmware 6(1).  I think that the 
problem is due to the fact that, when i get back to the ts-dos rom, it doesn’t 
put the trigger file back in the menu right away, causing some offset in RAM 
locations.  If i then go back to rexmanager and reselect ts-dos rom a second 
time, the ts-dos trigger file reappears which solves the offset issue and i can 
run the correct program by selecting it in the menu.

Replaced? You means plugged and unplugged or got another of the same kind from

There are two main chipsets, FTDI and Prolific. They can differ on that. 

And I’ve had flow control pins die on some. Possible so bad designs on the

.BA files, I only get a few lines of code or no code at all, even though

There's a bit of a trick here - well, not a 'trick' so much as a bit of 
information you need to know.

Often when you find a .BA file online, it's a plain-text listing of a BASIC 
program which you can view in Notepad etc. The problem is that on the M100, a 
.BA file is a tokenized binary (to save space and improve execution time). If 
you transfer a text BASIC listing as a .BA file the M100 is going to try to 
interpret it as a tokenized binary file and, well, you saw what happens. :(

The trick is to have a look at the .BA file on the PC, and if it's a plain text 
program listing, rename it to a .DO extension before you transfer it into the 
M100. Then, when it's on the M100, go into BASIC and type:

LOAD "PROG.DO"

This will load the program and tokenize it for you. (If it's a big program it 
might take a while.) When it's done, type:

SAVE "PROG.BA"

This will save the tokenized .BA file back into the M100's memory. You can now 
delete the .DO file from the M100, and you can transfer the .BA file back to 
the PC and keep it to save this step in the future.

Some people adopt different naming conventions for these when storing them on a 
PC - often a program will have a document with it, so there will be a PROG.BA 
which is the plain text listing, and a PROG.DO which is the instruction manual. 
What I personally do is rename PROG.BA to PROG.BD (Basic-DO is I guess what I 
was thinking there) and then copy back PROG.BA from the M100 to save the 
tokenized version.

Re: [M100] Files XFER

[David Laffineuse]

So here is where I am so far:
- successfully installed mComm on the PC and able to establish bidirectional 
communication with the Model 100 over the null modem cable/USB-to-Serial 
adapter (COM3 on PC).
- via TELCOM, successfully running the mComm Virtual Modem (able to access BBS, 
etc.).  Although according to the mComm documentation, I should see something 
similar to the TS-DOS screen.
- Via REX's TS-DOS ROM, able to view the content of the mComm/Data folder on 
the PC (disk view)
- Able to save files from the M100's RAM into the mComm/Data folder on the PC 
(i.e. sending)
- Able to download files from mComm/data into RAM... BUT those files, once in 
RAM seem to be corrupter.  For instance when downloading some .BA files, I only 
get a few lines of code or no code at all, even though mComm reports that the 
transfer is completed.  Likewise the M100 has crashed several times when trying 
to open .DO files that had been downloaded from mComm.  The only way to 
resurrect the M100 after such crashes was the CTRL-Break/Pause-RESET combo.

So I am getting closer to being able to download files for the M100 but I am 
not quite there yet.

David, you're not alone in the confusion, I encourage you to document your

Basically you start by transferring a "DOS" to the M100, which can then talk
to the "Disk Servers" mentioned, bear in mind we're using DOS in a literal
sense, the M100 has no concept of operating a Disk Drive without a Disk
Operating System loaded.

Inject TS-DOS via mComm

http://www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?direction=1=mod=Kurt%20McCullum

This involves

* start BASIC
* RUN "COM:98N1E"
* Start sending TS-DOS from mComm
* Follow on-screen instructions

You now have TS-DOS.BA in the menu.

* Start TS-DOS.BA from menu
* Enter "Disk" screen in TS-DOS
* Load .CO programs from mComm's configured TPDD folder

[M100] Files XFER

[David Laffineuse]

So I am sure that this question has been asked 1000 times but I still cannot 
find a simple and satisfactory answer in the archives.  It is about file 
transfer.  Now I can do text file transfers between a 64-bit PC and the M100 
via HyperTerminal and a null modem cable.  That works well.   But now, how do I 
get programs/applications onto the M100?  Where do I find those programs, how 
do I setup the PC and M100 to transfer them for the PC to the M100, how does 
all that work?  If that helps I just received REX.  Thanks in advance for your 
help!

[M100] Keyboard issue

[David Laffineuse]

My left Shift key only works intermittently.  I have tried to treat it with 
some DeOxit but is doesn’t seem to do the trick.  Any other possible fixes?

Thanks, I will leave it plugged in with the PSU for a while and see if it 
works.  Memory Power Switch is indeed ON.

My M100 came in today and I love it.  For now I have it running on 4 AA but if 
I turn it off, it loses the files that I created.  Is it becomes the onboard 
battery is dead?  What replacement should I get?

Re: [M100] Rex

[David Laffineuse]

Thanks for the warm welcome, Jan (fellow Belgian I see)!  
I have now been in touch with Fugu, thank you for making the introductions.
I should receive my M100 tomorrow, I am tracking its every steps from its 
origin in California, I can't wait!
I look forward to learning all that I can from this group and other sources.
David

Hello David,

 

Glad to see you followed my advice on fb, and connected to the mailing list. 
Remember, this is an mailing list, so responses come when people open their 
e-mail, wich limits the speed of answers a bit. But most questions are 
eventually answered.

 

As far as your questions are concerned:

- Fugu ME100 is a member on this list, he posts regularly, and he will 
certainly react when het sees his name. That is, he never signs his mails and 
has a numerical Hotmail-address, so I don’t really know his name, except for 
Fugu, but that’s fine…

- I think maxing out the RAM isn’t necessary anymore when you have a REX, 
because, again AFAIK, REX replaces all the RAM, and then some. Check out the 
info on Bitchin 100.

 

Anyway …

Welcome to the mailing list: a great community around a little computer!

Hi, I am  new to the Model 100 and to this group and was wondering if it was 
still possible to acquire a Rex chip.
