Re: [M100] M100 Digest, Vol 80, Issue 9

A zip parallel plug would physically fit on a M100 thanks to the M100's backwards* gender, so some confusion is understandable. * I heard someone suggest that actually the M100 was probably technically correct according to the standards of the time, and predated the PC, and it's actually the IBM

Re: [M100] Has anyone considered this possibility?

You wouldn't even need any programming, just configuration of regular stuff that already exists. * dlplus launched from getty * dlplus sharing directory /foo * directory /foo is a mount point for an nfs/smb/fish share done! That's without even researching the state of dropbox-style

Hi John, It would be a parallel interface I believe.. connecting to the Model T's rs-232c port. Maybe he was just selling both! Maybe that's why i couldn't find anything lol.

Robert, Those early Zip drives were Parallel or SCSI, not serial. If your drive has a male DB25 cable then that would be the cable that connected to a printer port on a PC. Kurt On Thursday, August 10, 2017 2:55 PM, Robert Prather wrote: Hi All, I'm

Re: [M100] M100 Digest, Vol 80, Issue 9

Hi All, I'm putting the floppy disk idea on hold for the time being. Another idea I had was the iomega Zip drive. One time on an eBay auction (I go there frequently to watch for new model 100 stuff), I noticed someone who was selling a model 100 with a zip drive and several zip disks. Apparently

[M100] Has anyone considered this possibility?

Hi Fellow M100sters.. You have a device that plugs onto the serial port. It also has an ethernet port and perhaps WiFi. To the M100 it looks like a floppy drive. But the directory it shows is actually an sftp share out on the Internet. One would have a file on the floppy named disk.tx which

Re: [M100] I have files I would like to share, what is the best way?

bitchin100 has them linked from the REX documentation if not elsewhere. And/or Steven Adolphs directory in the member uploads on club100. I installed the same patched 102 rom from there on 2 100s and a 102. I haven't noticed any problem so far from putting the 102 rom on a 100, but there

[M100] I have files I would like to share, what is the best way?

I have patched my T102 and T200 ROMS (replaced with patched ROMS to fix Y2K on the Menu) and I thought others might like to have the images.  I know others have done fixes, but I was unable to locate any patched images. I have a text file explaining the 2 byte changes for each of the two machines
