For what it's worth, I performed the following and found no trouble.
I checked two files at the Club 100 website:
CHESS.100 4546 (11-19-87)
This is a text file that is the textual equivalent of the BASIC
statements of a chess program for the M10x laptop.
CHESS.DOC 1832 (11-19-87)
I've had a few eproms burned at buyicnow.com. My T200 had a new system
rom with the Y2K patch and I did the same thing for my NEC 8201.
However, I've had two eproms burned of the NEC version of Sardine using
the SARNEC.BX file from the REX option ROMs. Both times it has failed to

Sorry I was late to the thread. James, I sent a separate email to you
about this but to anyone else interested, if you are doing a capture

sending data. W
One thing I had in college and composed many a papers on was a DVI. Did anyone
ever miniaturize the electronics for this?
I do remember some trepidation with the cable that bridged the 100 and DVI -
lots of little pins, just asking to get broken.
I've seen a couple of offers for sale of DV

Both sides have to be matched baud rates.
You should be able to change on both sides they just have to match.
Recommend you pay with the STAT setting in m100 and hyperterm's baud to
verify you can operate at
Any baud rate.
Your onboard serial port should not be baud rate locked. Certainly the m10

I've successfull had data come down this null cable using mcomm inXP and
mincomp in linux. Also while the REX was installed, i was able to download
a rom image without problem using the DISK feature in TS-DOS.

Sounds like a flow control issue.
I think you are pressing f2 on the M100?
I don't think any characters are flowing. M100 is pretty good about that.
How do you know your cabling solution works?
Because you can read data from m100 to Pc?
Have you ever

As per Stephens request
Current setup
Main PC - Windows XP
I can get mComm to list a directory on the M100, via the onboard serial
port and the USB RS-232 adaptor I have. However i can not get the M100 to
download files through either connection.
Type in
TERM
select a file, press D and then F2
James, are you still using the ROM you had made, or are you using the
original? Just curious. I'm not sure we ever confirmed that it mattered.

I suggest you remove Rex and simplify your computer, for now.
Get used to making things work without Rex, then add that in again, so you
can separate issues that occur.
Lots of things can go wrong.

I don't think Steve is saying to remove it permanently but to reduce the
number of variables in the experiment in your setup.

I got the REX because it recommended to me by fellow members, as an
affordable means of expanding the M100. So i can store more programs on the
computer and not worry about them eating up memory i might otherwise need
for documents i write out on it.
On 10 October 2015 at 00:19, Stephen
I'd suggest removing rex.
You don't need it to use laddiealpha or any other solution. I for one would
like to see you use your machine as you got it. That might help to identify
your issues.

James,
The one thing mComm requires to handle both TELCOM and TPDD requests is a full
null cable. The pinouts are in the Manual.DO file that gets installed. Without
the DSR lines it will just sit there. Other than that, picking the wrong serial
port would do the same thing.

Hit the enter key when you first enter terminal mode. That will switch mComm
over to TELCOM mode and you should see a message that says Testing screen size.
As far as memory. That number indicates you have a 24k machine.
