I should have brought mine into work and asked the tech department to get
it hooked up to the WiFi.

So I had this great April Fools thing planned - I had a 10am meeting with 
several coworkers and an external consultant, and I normally bring my laptop 
into meetings to take notes (because my memory is horrible).

I was going to whip out my model 200 and use it to take notes, and if anybody 
asked I was going to say 'yeah, my boss just got this for me, it's so great! It 
lasts forever on AA batteries, and there are no distractions...'

Sadly, the meeting got cancelled.

Control+ break+ reset

Depending on how long it was in storage, I'd give it a day. Make sure you
turn the memory power switch back on.

[M100] Out from storage

2019-04-01 Thread Chris Fezzler
Pulling some Model Ts out from storage.
What was the cold boot routine again?  I thought it was hold down GRPH, CTRL, 
ESC  and power one?
How long does it take the internal 3v NiCad to pickup a charge again?  Plug in 
overnight?
Do I need to remove the Option Rom for first reboot?

I haven't had that happen. Weird.

It has a fairly decent ROM interface... But it has no tolerance for bugs
in its .CO files at all!  Any mistake, and it's a visit to Cold Start
City. :-(

It really seems like it has some rules about binary files that were never
explained... Sometimes a binary will run directly from the RAM disk, and
other times it will only run from main memory... Binaries tend to change
size as they get copied between PDD/RAMdisk/memory. It's very frustrating.
