Re: [M100] REX# Version 2 software update.
Folks, A bug was found in REXCPM Version 2, that also affects REX# Version 2. I have a fix in hand, so I will be posting an update later tonight or tomorrow. Summary of the bug: * when copying a RAM image to system memory from REX#, you cannot start BASIC or TEXT. * work around is to press RESET and carry on. issue resolved in build 13.

Hi Steve, I am looking forward to the updates on the REXCPM. The current version has performed flawlessly for me since your last update. Thanks for your fine work!

[M100] REX# Version 2 software update.
Many delays for this, sorry to those who've been waiting for me to get this done. I have posted an update to REX# at the Bitchin100 Wiki. Version 2 provides * integrated VT100 video driver (for M100/T102) * multi-bank (for T200 and NEC) * new quick menu key stroke CNTL-A to start REXMGR not to mention a major bug fix. Due to the *major bug* I do suggest people do the upgrade, but also I suggest saving off to external storage any important RAM images or other data! Information is posted here: http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REXsharp#Use_with_MVT100_external_Video http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=Integrated_VT100_driver Thanks to COVID lockdown, I have been able to invest a lot of time in development and testing. I have really put in some time and I hope that upgrades go smoothly. I have created new tools that I hope are more user friendly. For those of you with REX#, just download the REX# upgrade utility, and the new software image. Both are posted at the link above. My utilities are now are ASCII .DO files, and 7bit, so they can be loaded correctly more easily and reliably. No need to transfer as a .CO, with some of the hassle that entails. I do rely on feedback when things don't work because I really can't possibly test everything! So, thanks in advance for your feedback. Lastly, I will be posting the similar update for REXCPM. So Version 2 REXCPM software with integrated VT100 is on it's way. thanks, Steve
