I'm guessing D8.7 is write-only, and reading that bit might produce a meaningless result. Its also possible there's a read-modify-write problem with reading & writing the ports directly - Some test routines use logical operators rather than direct reads/writes... On 6/28/18, Kurt McCullum

I have a scrap 200 with a bad "=" and "del" key, and the power button has too high of a resistance. I was planning on trying to repair them since I have the 3 keys desoldered, dismantled and put in a baggy. Since I'm probably never going to fix this keyboard, would you want the power button

Will, Found it in the Robert Covington's M100 ports/registers file. Port D0 (208) is where the low power signal is. The file indicates this is the same for both the 100 and 200. PRINT INP(208) That command should give you the status of the power. Bit 7 is the indicator so the value will change

It's actually a INP(216) command not a PEEK(216). I didn't realize that when I first posted. But the memory locations on the 200 would be different than the NEC. So for the NEC, in BASIC the following command would show the value: PRINT INP(216) Kurt On Thu, Jun 28, 2018, at 9:53 AM, William
