Hi I assume you mean the DVI (disk video interface).  They are somewhat rare 
and proven working ones can go for $150 on up.  Often they are not tested

I will be!  I’m a big M100 fan.  That will be the focus of my exhibit at Tandy 
Assembly this year.

Re: [M100] Tandy Assembly & CP/M update

Philip,

It was great meeting you at Tandy Assembly and seeing the great stuff you've 
done with CP/M for the M100!  Thanks so much for making the trek over to the 
show.  You and Ian Mavric certainly came a long way for our little show.

I'd love to talk more with you about what you're working on. Maybe an interview 
for the Trash Talk Podcast?

Warsaw area?  I grew up around there and my family lives in that area.  What

 Hi guys,
 
 Been around here a couple of times before, but it's been a while.
 
 Anyway, I have a TPDD2 and (I believe) 70 disks for sale. It's been a while 
 since I last used it.
 
 Shoot me an offer if you're interested. I'm in zip code 46590.
