2017-04-11 Thread George Michael Rimakis
Hi Everyone, I had a bit of free time on Sunday night so I decided to write a Minesweeper clone for the Model 100 in BASIC. It is called Text Sweeper Spent the better part of 5 hours planning and writing it, and it's done. If you are interested, please give it a whirl. It's a bit on the slow side

Interesting, thanks for the tip. I haven't had any time to work on Text Sweeper, as I have been occupied with job related things, and I will be moving shortly. But I promise to take a look at this probably sometime during the late autumn. ~George On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 9:17 PM, Gary Weber wrote:

The thing about NiMH, is the level of trickle charge that they can tolerate is a bit less than NiCD. Might not be good in the long run. On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 5:00 PM, Jim Anderson wrote: > > -Original Message- > > > > This brings up an interesting point. Having just replaced my NiCad I

I *believe*, the M100 will charge the NiCad battery from the AAs even when off. Due to that mechanism, the RAM will be preserved until the AA and NiCad are both dead. Please correct me if I am wrong. On Wed, Jan 2, 2019 at 3:26 AM Eric LK wrote: > Hi, > > I got a 24KB Model 100 about one year a
