The exception that proves the rule :-)
Indeed some books and magazine tried to cater to a broad swath of
Well I dunno, that DM's Personnel Service program was written to work
on a variety of microcomputers, and the TRS-80 is mentioned. I don't
think they meant the model 100 but it runs on it just fine.
BTW It is in the manual's description of STR$ that it is expained that
positive numbers have a

Could I ask then, does that apply to the rest of the TRS-80 range of
computers? I mean, aside from not taking advantage of the M100s graphics
abilities, could code from books focusing on these systems still be
perfectly fine to work on my M100?

They're both Microsoft extended basics so they're similar but they are not
the same version and are not compatible in either direction.

disassembly.
They are so close and in many cases it is of great help in identifying the
constant values and the dynamic data, vectors, etc.
In this way I'm now able to change the MSX and, still with some limit, the
I'm certain I've read a couple of times, that programs for the TRS-80
colour computer work on the M100.
I'm guessing they share the same version of BASIC.

I'm a bit late to the party but I use a 6V lantern battery (one of those
big cubes) and a holder designed for it. It will last years at the
current draw that the M100 has -- in fact, the battery started leaking
before I drained all the power from it. :-) No damage -- I removed the
battery from
