Steve: Been busy with working nights since this COVID-19 mess started and guess I missed some of the REXCPM posts. I am another interested in a REXCPM 4mb et al. No hurry as am in the middle of upgrading one of my other computers. In trying to catch up with REXCPM info I didn't see anything

Hi Steve, Ah, I think I see now. The REXCPM provides the BIOS, BDOS, and the rest of the CP/M stuff, and the Z80 upgrade only replaces the CPU, and adds a Z80 CPU, but no CP/M specific stuff. Is that correct? Thanks! Regards,Bert On 6/9/20 9:55 AM, Stephen Adolph wrote: > Hi Bert, > in

Hi Bert, in order to run ANY CP/M on M100, you need REXCPM. The Z80 upgrade is "beta" and still being refined. I plan to offer that as a separate device. So you could get started with REXCPM and then augment it with the dual processor card. make sense? Steve On Tue, Jun 9, 2020 at 10:47 AM

Hi Steve, Is this the Z80 unit? I'm interested in running Turbo Pascal (I already have a Kaypro 2X to run it on but it's not exactly "portable" :-) If this is the Z80 version then I'm definitely interested. Thanks. :-) Regards,Bert On 6/8/20 9:05 PM, Stephen Adolph wrote: > Thanks for

Hi Eric, here are some answers- REX# provides better mechanical mounting via the Molex adapter, and it includes a redesign that improves reliability. However, I am reducing feature support and one of the removed features is main rom replacement. Original REX uses flash, REXCPM uses SRAM. Flash

Ah, I’ve just answered my own questions I think. The REX# is still flash based so does not need a capacitor to protect its memory. I guess this leaves me with two questions; 1. does the REX# still support main OS ROM replacement through hardware modification? (I haven’t done this yet, but was

Hi, Looks awesome! I do have some questions. I currently have a ‘legacy’ REX installed in my 102. I think it is clear that the REXCPM is a definite upgrade. What improvements would the Rex# bring to an existing REX user? I also have a question about the Capacitor and memory protection on the
