[M100] Back light?

Has anyone ever back-lit an M100? I try to keep my mods minimally invasive on old hardware, but I was thinking about trying to add back-lighting to my M100 using a technique similar to the one shown here: https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-LCD-backlight/ Anyone on here ever tried something like

I finally got my NEC PC 8201A working last night, and I with all the fun I've been having with REX on my M100 I was wondering if REX3 is available anywhere. -Jason

[M100] Ultimate Rom II TS-Dos

When I try to run TS-DOS from the Ultimate ROM II(v2.12) I get the error "Not found". Do I need to load a separate binary for TS-DOS? I haven't found one yet , but I still have a lot of stuff to look through. -Jason

[M100] REX + Ultrascreen100

I was excited when I came across Ultrascreen100, and it worked great when I loaded it, but after loading it if I try to run the Rexmanager the screen blanks out and the only resolution seems to be cold starting it. Is Ultrascreen100 incompatible with REX or am I doing something wrong? -Jason

[M100] Option Rom File Formats

Hey guys, I got myself a REX. I had no real trouble installing rex, and after a bit of head scratching I think I've got LaddieAlpha more or less figured out. I'm trying to load some option roms though and I'm running into some trouble. When I try to load an option rom in REX it looks like LA is

I was loading the file through Virtual T. and running it just fine. Is it VT automatically converting it to a tokenized basic file? On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 4:53 PM John R. Hogerhuis wrote: > Jason, the proper extension for your file is .DO, not .BA. So, DMPS.DO > > BA is for tokenized files

Hey guys, I got a Simple Wifi RS232 modem from Etsy, and I'm having some trouble if any of you are familiar with this sort of device. I've messaged the maker about it but I haven't heard anything back yet and my attempts to google a resolution have come up short. It seems to be a problem with the

[M100] Duplicate a file

Hey guys, is there anyway to make a copy of a BASIC file so that you have a backup other than saving it to another machine or external storage? Per the manual : In the Model 100 there usually is no backup copy. You should make one for important documents as early as possible. But that seems

I replaced the internal NiCd in my 8201A that was DOA from eBay, but I have been unable to elicit any sign of life from it. The NiCd was definitely garbage, with almost no current output and a fair amount of green crud on the positive side, and I believe my replacement was done well enough. I

I finished my version of Conway's Game of Life for M100 basic. It runs pretty slow, but without errors. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff I can do to optimize it but I'm super happy just to see it running. Currently it only exists in my M100's memory, but when I get it transferred (or just retyped

[M100] 8201A Trouble

Hi guys, I'm a long time fan of the site but only just got on the mailing list. I've been fiddling with an M100 for awhile but I felt like it was lonely so I found it a NEC PC 8201A on ebay to hang out with. Today I got my "new" 8201 in the mail, and was excited to find that it came with a full
