Definitely replace that battery soon! Power on, then hold CTL BREAK and press RESET button. Good luck! - Original Message - From: Joshua Ray To: m...@bitchin100.com Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2017 6:09 PM Subject: Re: [M100] Tandy 200 repair, guidance requested I did check

Re: [M100] Tandy 200 repair, guidance requested

I did check the battery before, but now that I look more closely there is some leakage just beginning to occur. It hasn't reached the board yet, but I think I should play it safe and remove it. Thanks for mentioning that. When you do a cold start do you hold the buttons then press the power

Fresh AAs will be fine; (you did check that there's no sign of any leakage around the internal NiCd battery?) Cold start: Hold down CTRL BREAK while you press RESET - Original Message - From: Joshua Ray To: m...@bitchin100.com Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2017 5:39 PM Subject:

You want the 262 degree version instead of the 270, like these: eBay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5-Qty-8-Pin-DIN-Male-Connectors-262-Degrees-US-Shipping-/282519078147?hash=item41c7730503:g:1FsAAOSw1vlUwqvQ - Original Message - From: user evers To: m100@lists.bitchin100.com Sent:

I don't have the power adapter unfortunately. Will it function just as well on AA batteries? Could you also explain what you mean by cold start? Thanks! On Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 5:34 PM, John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > Power problems are common when you first get a Model T out of

Re: [M100] Tandy 200 repair, guidance requested

Power problems are common when you first get a Model T out of storage. Generally it needs to be plugged in, left on overnight to get the internal nicad charged up. Then do a cold start to clear the RAM. -- John.

Re: [M100] Anyone have a source for the m100 phone-modem cable?

I ordered these for some cables for the C64 AV port, and IIRC one of them fit, I just can't remember which...if you can't figure it out I can grab them from the garage and test fit. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cui-inc/SD-60/CP-1060-ND/96999

Re: [M100] Translating BASIC code from 100 to NEC.

By the way: Not all those lines need to be changed; don't change lines 3, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 18. 15 and 16 can be tricky ;-) If MID$ is at the beginning of a line or immediately after a ":" or a "THEN" then it needs to be changed; otherwise it's OK as it is. It's handy, but in my opinion the

[M100] Anyone have a source for the m100 phone-modem cable?

I just realized that the 8 pin plug on my phone/modem port is non-standard. (yeah, old eyes are beginning to fail) Anyone know of a source for these? I am half tempted to remake a plug, but, getting the pins lined up and then having the ground/shell where its supposed to be can be a real

Re: [M100] Tandy 200 repair, guidance requested

I've got good news and bad news. The good news: I've managed to refurbish the power switch. Turns out the mystery part I found rattling around in the case was one of the contacters. The circuit diagram shows that the power circuit uses only half of the switch, so I could reattach the missing

>I had always believed that 8201A was technically more advanced both as software and as hardware compared Tandy and Olivetti, actually I was totally wrong That's a bit harsh. By saying you were "totally wrong" you are implying that the Tandy model was more advanced in both software and hardware.

Re: [M100] Translating BASIC code from 100 to NEC.

How about this: PB$(1)=LEFT$(PB$(1),3) + LEFT$(D$,5) + RIGHT$(PB$(1),LEN(PB$(1))-9) Many BASICs did not have this form of MID$, so I don't think it necessarily makes it weak... If you play with BASIC on different computers you'll find many subtle differences... m - Original Message

Re: [M100] Translating BASIC code from 100 to NEC.

Thank you Kurt. Ok, I'll take a look deeper at your link. Honestly I had thought it was simpler. First of all I find it difficult to exploit the informations provided in your link. I tried to use the line you wrote: PB$(1)=LEFT$(PB$(1),3) + LEFT$(D$,5) + RIGHT$(PB$,LEN(PB$)-9) Sadly it
