Re: [M100] NEC 8201 screen

Hm, today while testing the FigTroniX option rom module finally, I discovered that the screen on this unit works perfectly now. It does not flicker randomly light and dark like it used to before I hit the pot with deoxit, and it is full normal darkness. Which is to say, it goes the same range from

[M100] New option rom module

Just verified a new option rom module design. Adapts a 28C256 SOIC to a Model 100/102/200 option rom socket. Allows re-programming the eeprom after the chip has been soldered to the module. A pullup resistor and a jumper on-board allows enabling/disabling WE on the eeprom as needed. There is a s

'Normal' through-hole radial caps should fit OK; they'll be pretty small. Good luck! m - Original Message - From: "John Watson" To: Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 6:17 PM Subject: Re: [M100] Schematic needed > My two 102s are ser nos 705300125 and 704300017. My 100 is 305100966. > >

Re: [M100] Schematic needed

My two 102s are ser nos 705300125 and 704300017. My 100 is 305100966. I've no idea what market mine were meant for except that I got all 3 units from ebay in the UK. I agree about M18, that's why I'm confused about where this corrosion came from. There was a battery leak from the 4 x AA housing b

Re: [M100] New command line tool for TPDD and TPDD2

Hi Mark, I have tested the TPDDTool on CentOS 5 and 6 VM’s on a Windows host. The Mac testing was done on a real Mac. I should fire up the Windows 7 VM and see if that works. I don’t have any TPDD boot/utility disks so would be keen to get a copy of a TPDD boot/utility disk. I am happy to pay fo

Re: [M100] Schematic needed

Interesting... What are the serial numbers of the two machines? Most of the 'old' M100s use a board labelled PLX110CH1X; is yours a model meant for a market other than North America by any chance? Similarly, most of the T102s use a board labelled PLX144FH1X so again, I wonder where yours came

I was under the impression that the schematics and part numbers were identical but the layouts were different. Same for T102, M100 all variants (with some models having the modem deleted). On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 12:19 PM, John Watson wrote: > I have a model 100 and a 102. The 102 has PCB numb

Re: [M100] chip

Find a 3.3 l-ion that will fit in the AA area and then put a ramp circuit to raise it up to the needed 6 volts. That could work couldn't it? That would involve not having it connected to the AA connections but only the output of the ramp circuit connected to the leads for the M100. It sounds like a

[M100] Schematic needed

I have a model 100 and a 102. The 102 has PCB number PLX196CH1X and the 100 is PLX120BH1X. I can't find any information on these boards at all. The Service Manual for the 100 and the Technical Reference Manual for the 102 show entirely different component numbers etc. I assume there are different

Re: [M100] chip

It somehow does not appeal to me to stick a thing like that in a m100. You could emulate the entire m100 on that, and just use the gutted shell of a m100 for it's screen and keyboard. Then you have all the option roms and hackable system roms and all the switchable ram banks in the world... but wha

Re: [M100] chip

Tiny computers have always had powerful peripherals, out of necessity. The C64 had an entire second 6502 in the disk drive and it's own mini OS. For me, the biggest consideration is that the M100 still be completely and independently functional. Still has great battery life, instant-on and a great

Re: [M100] chip

It has an onbord charge controler for an optional lithem battery it could either be powered by connecting the power input to the input for the M-100 being that they are almost the same power thus being able to charge the chip battery from the normal M-100 power supply, with maybe only a small isola
