Well, the castellated boards look good after I deburred them. Took about 30

several at a time in the $15 toaster oven once I get rolling

Hi Bill,
Yes, you can use the same REX in a model 100 or 102.
If they are mod100/102's have the same amount of memory you will have no
issues with stored RAM Images, but if they are different you will get a
memory size mismatch when attempting to load them. Easy to fix using the
