Thanks.   The spherical coordinates used for displaying positions might scare some folks away.   However, I suspect there are many electrical engineers in this group that had to endure courses in E fields where they would learn all about spherical coordinates so that should not be a factor.If

First off an apology that this post is slightly off topic.I say only slightly because I am interested in doing some assembly language programming on the TRS-80 Model 100 or the NEC8201. After retiring from Boeing, I acquired a couple of Arduinio based emulations of the Altair 8800.

Dive in! What do you envision yourself doing with the M100? The biggest issue you may have is getting data and programs to & from the Model 100. I suspect you will use RS-232 with a terminal emulator program. I use Tera Term. The backpack drive is also a great method in that it uses a

Thanks. I've purchased Avery labels before and noticed they have templates but I haven't used them. I've always felt a little nervous about rerunning sheets of labels through an ink jet feeder. Should one of the unused labels come loose, clearing the resulting jam could be a big mess.
