Okay - my tools order should get to me on Monday the 25th. I still haven't gotten TS-DOS sorted out on my 102 but I'll play with that this weekend. Looking forward to building a few REX units! I'll post any QA issues I encounter in the instructions and also document my M100 load procedure in

I just recently made a digikey cart for quad too, but the memory chip I picked is not yet proven. I received all the parts and pcbs a week ago, but haven't built and tested it yet. Now I'm on vacation until the 2nd, and then a few days later is Tandy Assembly. I might possibly build them before

When I get a chance, going to try following the tutorial and make some if I can. Or perhaps save me buying a programmer, order the chips and send them to whom ever has a programmer. Then I can just deal with putting them together. Will be great to see if we can knock a few PCBs out for the club.

teeny works with most, maybe all tpdd servers. I use it almost exclusively with dlplus myself. the dlplus package actually includes teeny and a teeny-installer. It's actually fairly convenient once you've done it once or twice so you don't actually have to read and think about all the prompts.
