I have a M100 that has been sitting on my stack of projects to tackle for far too long. I knew it was dead when I bought it but hoped for a easy fix. The batteries exploded. I'll have to give this a watch maybe it will help me. On Wed, Jan 29, 2020 at 9:45 PM Randall Kindig wrote: > Josh, this

All, I finally made my first M100 repair video. This was a repair job that I picked up at Tandy Assembly -- one of several, actually. This may also be my first one-sitting fix (turned out to be a simple problem). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSD01xLqwEc I'm still planning to make more videos

There is already a microsoft basic with cp/m. Commands are a bit different so I guess the question is how to modify so it is maximally the same? On Wednesday, January 29, 2020, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > Since Steve and Philip are close to done with REXCPM I wonder how hard it > would be to

Since Steve and Philip are close to done with REXCPM I wonder how hard it would be to adapt/repackage the M100 BASIC interpreter as CP/M program? That way many BASIC programs could run under REXCPM 64K all-RAM mode instead of having to go back to BASIC ROM mode. -- John. >

For the ROM, got to basic and type EXEC 62394 and the ROM will load. ADDRS and SCHED are not in the system ROM. ORIG/ANS ect are for the modem in a M100. There was an optional modem made to put internally into the 8300 but it didn't require those switches. FDD port is for the VERY rare NEC
