Re: [M100] Any writers still using an M100?

I think the issue here is down to what kind of writing you do. For Tech Blogging it becomes very inconvenient to use an unconnected device as you constantly want to be referring to links and media. For creative writing or novels it would be a completely different matter. When I decided to use

[M100] Tandy WP2 Memory Expansion chips HM628128BLP-7

I forget what you do with these (replace an existing memory chip or insert in an additional socket) but they increase the stock Tandy WP2 memory. IIRC they are static RAM chips. I have three of them HM628128BLP-7 free for the cost of postage from the UK. Regards, Mark.
