Re: [M100] Mike Stein's M100 Rom Adapter

Thanks; I have to thank Steve for his help in actually getting the PCBs made from my various prototypes. I'll see if I can find my original notes to tell what the jumpers do; also a list of common mods to the System ROM. Triple check the EPROM location; ISTR that another member who built one

Re: [M100] General PSU question

I have two of those and just tried it. One works and one doesn't. The one that works has one USB port and just sends the power to the USB port. The one that doesn't work has two USB ports and a circuit that detects which port draws the most power. It diverts more power to the one that draws

You might look through the list archives I found a USB to 6V power (only) cable that is very nice. -- John.

Well the boards finally arrived from OSH Park. Can’t wait to try them out. Looking at the design it’s quite nice layout. Bill Nobel b_nobel@ hotmail.com

Re: [M100] General PSU question

Several years ago, Radio Shack sold solar cells that put out around 1/2 volt each. I read that 14 of them would power an M100 so I bought them and soldered them together. Around the same time, one of my power supplies died so I cut off the cord and connected it to the cells. It works great i

[M100] Sardos 100

For those interested, SARDOS for the M100/102 is done and in the members file area. Let me know if you run into any problems with these ROMs.They should drop right into REX. Kurt

Re: [M100] General PSU question

My Velleman supplies enough current to handle it. It also has the advantage of changing the output voltage to support other devices. My HP 200LX uses 12v, while my NEC PC-8300 works fine at 6v, but could go to 7.x volts (ideal). All these are supported with that device, along with the choice of

Re: [M100] General PSU question

What rating does it need to be? 5v what amps? I was hoping when I'm not using it on the M100, I could use it to power the floppy drive. On 19 Apr 2016 1:55 p.m., "Stephen Adolph" wrote: > I'm using old cell phone chargers that pump out 5V on mini USB. I > chop off the end and put on a barrel con

Re: [M100] Are REX's available?

Would just like to say, that my Rex is brilliant. My M100 was a swine when it came to playing ball with it. The expansion socket on my computer was the problem. What I learnt, was even If it looks like a good connection, but it's still not working. Bend those pins some more!! Lol Steve went out of

Re: [M100] Are REX's available?

Well when they become available (for both the 100 and 200), I still want them. Been waiting since last April ;) But no rush, as most of my Model T projects have taken a back burner. -Joe From: M100 on behalf of Stephen Adolph Sent: Tuesday, April 19

Re: [M100] General PSU question

The power supplies for Texas instruments calculators are 6v and center negative and use the same plug. (Most of them) I also bought one that is 8.5 volts for my NEC. Works great. A cheap ebay alternative. Kurt

I went with the "buy an adapter, chop the cable, and re-solder to reverse polarity" route. http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adapter-2-1mm-Regulated-Supply/dp/B006QYWHIM I actually have that same Vellman, but didn't think it was working. Turns out it was a problem with my other M102 not taking any sort

[M100] Are REX's available?

The catalog on club100.org seems to imply that fulfillment still happens on all kinds of items. Is obtaining the M100 and T200 flavors of REX just as simple as placing an order via the website? Given the recent thread about the NADSbox's being done with production, and yet they do still appear
