Thanks Jim, this is very helpful

It's pretty straightforward in that it doesn't require any specialized 
chip-programming hardware.  As long as you have a TPDD or TPDD emulator already 
working with your machine, it's just a matter of putting a couple of files in 
the TPDD (or emulator) and running a few commands on the T200.

http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REX_Release_4.9

After putting the REX in your T200 ROM socket, scroll down to the section 
'Rebuilding REX' and follow steps 2, 4, and 5 (steps 1 and 3 are only needed if 
you already had the REX working in your machine, although obviously the part of 
step 1 about backing up your RAM files is important, since in step 5 you'll be 
doing a cold restart).  Use the files for release 162, though, not 236.  
They're linked a little bit further down the page.

This is a good process to be familiar with anyways, as this is essentially how 
you'd go about upgrading your REX to a future software release.

It's pretty straightforward in that it doesn't require any specialized 
chip-programming hardware.  As long as you have a TPDD or TPDD emulator already 
working with your machine, it's just a matter of putting a couple of files in 
the TPDD (or emulator) and running a few commands on the T200.

After putting the REX in your T200 ROM socket, scroll down to the section 
'Rebuilding REX' and follow steps 2, 4, and 5 (steps 1 and 3 are only needed if 
you already had the REX working in your machine, although obviously the part of 
step 1 about backing up your RAM files is important, since in step 5 you'll be 
doing a cold restart).  Use the files for release 162, though, not 236.  
They're linked a little bit further down the page.

This is a good process to be familiar with anyways, as this is essentially how 
you'd go about upgrading your REX to a future software release.

Thank you for doing this Josh... I wasn't able to jump on one of these this 
time, but a REX has been on my wish list for a looong time. I'll likely 
want one for my 100 and 200 next go-round.

I know this batch were pre-programmed for the 100 (and 102), but I assume it's 
easy enough to make it 200 compatible?

Hello all,

Well, I was hoping to have more stock before I sent this, but circumstances 
will prevent me from building more for a while and I need to pay the the 
Digikey bill :)

I have 4 REX units available for sale. Programmed for Tandy 100/102. Price is 
$65 plus $7 priority shipping. Please mail me off-list to inquire. Payment via 
PayPal only for now. U.S. shipping only, again, for now.

I *will* be building more, but it will be a few weeks or more. :(

Thanks for everyone's support. I appreciate it!
