I have had good luck using power supplies for TI calculators. They seem to have the right plug and most are center positive. Kurt On Mon, Dec 17, 2018, at 3:42 PM, gotoole wrote: > Hi All > > I have 2 Power adapters for my model 100 both are now not working. > > Is their anything I can check

I received today's posts in a digest about 5 PM today. Thanks to all who responded. I read Mr. Birt's response and looked at the two YouTube videos, as well as downloading the PDF of caps and battery info. That was an amazing piece of work. I hope my task is simpler, but I guess if I'm

Hi All I have 2 Power adapters for my model 100 both are now not working. Is their anything I can check to see why they are not working and is it possible to get a replacement ?  Regards Gordon  Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Re: [M100] Model 100 power adapter

I thought the Model T’s where center negative? :) The T1133-P5N-ND Digikey 6V 1A power supply seems to work well as a replacement. Most of the ‘brick’ supplies cannot be easily repaired best to seek out a new one. Check that the output is 6V using a voltmeter if not then the supply is

Yes. It can be leaking and still operational. Just open the case and snip it out with parts snips. You can run these systems without memory batteries, so get them out now and decide what to replace them with later. On Mon, Dec 17, 2018, 5:33 PM Nick Shaner i too have wondered about this. My

Re: [M100] Model 100 power adapter

If you have a multi-meter check to see if you have about 6 volts on the connector. As I recall the barrel (outside) is positive and the tip (inside) is negative. If you have voltage there then the problem lies in the M100’s. Jeff_Birt From: M100 On Behalf Of gotoole Sent: Monday,

Thank you for your replies. I found them in the archives; I'm not sure how to access the (current) list itself. I couldn't find a "reply" option on any of the messages. I'm also not sure why the JPG picture I attached was "scrubbed" from my initial message. As I said, I've got a lot to

Re: [M100] Noob squared

I replaced mine with a NiMH battery from eBay. The description claimed it was NiCad but the actual product was not. There has been some debate about NiMH vs NiCad on the list. I’ve had no trouble with my NiMH. Arcade shopper sells both NiCad and NiMH.

Re: [M100] Multiplan Question

Kurt, it's a long time ago now (1994?) but an 8201a I purchased at a surplus store came with a Multiplan manual in a Ring Binder. I'm pretty sure there was a ROM too, but so far don't remember what became of it. HTH... Jack ...

Re: [M100] Multiplan Question

Thanks Jack, That's the first confirmation that I have received that the ROM actually exits. I take it you not longer have the machine or ROM? Kurt On Mon, Dec 17, 2018, at 9:50 AM, John Gardner wrote: > Kurt, it's a long time ago now (1994?) but an 8201a > > I purchased at a surplus store

Will do. Memory claims there were two ROMs - One marked "TS-DOS", & an unmarked chip I assumed was the OEM 8201a ROM. Its possible that's what it really was, I suppose... ... On 12/17/18, Kurt McCullum wrote: > John, > > If you get a chance to check, and it does contain the ROM, please

Re: [M100] Noob squared

I did a video last year on fixing a M100 with the same issues. There is a link in the description to a color-coded map of the electrolytic caps and part number for replacements. I used a super-cap instead of a battery, but it won’t last as long backing up the memory (perhaps 3-4 days compared

Re: [M100] Noob squared

The 40 pin socket is for connecting to a Disk Video Interface, usually just referred to as a DVI. http://tandy.wiki/Disk/Video_Interface The other one is for Option ROMs that contain additional software. There is a modern product call a REX that lets you load multiple different option ROM

Re: [M100] Noob squared

Hello Charles! Welcome to Club 100 :) You are correct about the ports under the ROM door. The 40-pin DIP is the system bus connector; it's used for direct system bus peripherals such as the Disk/Video Interface. The odd Molex socket is for Option ROM modules. BITD, you would buy software from
