In any case, a blanket statement that file transfer at any higher baud rate than 600 or 1200 bd is never reliable is a little misleading. m - Original Message - From: John R. Hogerhuis To: m...@bitchin100.com Sent: Friday, March 22, 2019 10:28 PM Subject: Re: [M100] 100/102

" I tried to use them for a pet project of mine but the 250 records/table limit made it impossible" I suggest for data entry just use TEXT. You can use tabs or commas as field separators, CRLF as record separator and then import using tab separated CSV on your desktop. Very little overhead this

Hi, Your best bet is to use a serial cable to connect your PC/Mac to your Model 100. Then just use the Telcom program to send the data as text over the serial, and capture it on Windows/Mac. For Mac you can use Terminal. For Windows you may want to try Teraterm. Just make sure your settings are

You can use mComm or LaddieAlpha on your PC and it will act as a TPDD emulator. Since you have UR-II, you can load the ram version of TS-DOS with one function key and then transfer the file over. You will need the proper serial cable (and likely a usb to serial adapter) to make it work
