They were also very popular for use in packet radio by radio amateurs. A
friend at work uses one for that purpose and I built him a modem cable for
it and logged onto Compuserve with it (to test the cable). There is a local
amateur radio BBS that has a download section of apps, games and utilities
just for the 100/200 series. There is still a forum on Compuserve that
caters to this and other orphan machines and they have a model 100/200
message forum as well as a files section there too.
