Phil: Gollee! Wierd and unpleasant woes & unthinkables have surely been after you over the past few days indeed! In a nutshell; there is nothing wrong with the program. I've downloaded the file with ead and XMODEM protocol via the Tandy 1000 and with Mortimer using both X-TEL (Read &…

Ummmm, that's not legal, is it? Thanks for the bugaroonie and I'll put it on my list with the 2 or 3 others. I'll get around to upgrading it someday… Happy Holiday – Mike

#TDD FOR NEC 8201 Message #102258
From: SAM M Forum: Model 100 SIG November 27, 1985 6:28 PM
Don: Thanks for your candid reply. There's one huge hitch with the PIC DD, even considering its sophistication: It must be attached to the same buss as the CRT adapter. Thus, if you use the disk drive, you can't drive a monitor. The monitor, to me, is more of abenefit.…

W'alaykum a sala'am! Inta ta kalam arabi?!! I have really enjoyed this little 100 but have spent more time on the company's Wang OIS-60 and PC/AT's at work. Somehow the 100 gets relegated to the word processing I can't get to at work. This thing drives my new Olympia daisy…

From: Asysop Tony Anderson Forum: Model 100 SIG November 27, 1985 12:08 PM
OK, it appears you've isolated the problem to the chip… suggest you return it for a replacement. There should be nothing in a program that affects a chip… there is an old saying in computer circles that goes something like this, "Software can't hurt hardware". Meaning, nothing you can type…

Thom, thanks for an excellent addition to the idea … (sysops) can we assume someone from Tandy will read this as a matter of course or should we leave a message specifically addressed to someone? Thanks, Tim.

Dave, UPLed PICTUR.DOC, BAS, and LDR into DL1. It's been a while since I've UPLed, but I think all is in order. Let me know if I forgot anything. The program is fun. Give it a try! Regards, Jim

If you use the TMPC.CO file as you suggest, how do you clear it out of upper memory when you want to use the upper memory for CDOS or another machine language program? FUTIL.BA will do two things: (a) load a .CO file into upper memory, automatically delete it from…
#RAM problem Message #102229
From: Bruce Drake Forum: Model 100 SIG November 27, 1985 10:08 AM
I removed the 8K expansion chip and ran TICKLR.100 (the calendar program) a number of times, turning the machine on and off. Seemed to function without problem so it may in fact be the expansion chip. Is there anything in these programs, however, that would be affected by the addition…
#DISASM.BAS (Again!) Message #102228
From: Phil Wheeler Forum: Model 100 SIG November 27, 1985 10:03 AM
Dave, I just looked at DISASM in my Model 100, and the TAB's in the xmodem'ed file were fully expanded into real spaces in my "Read" download yesterday — hence the long lines when trying to load into Basic. A thought: If you are doing YOUR read into the T600…

Jim Irwin [72346,1020] has come up with a terrific m/l version of PIX100.DMP in DL1. It is faster than I ever expected, both when putting an FBI picture on the M100 display and when printing it to any 9-pin matrix printer with an 8-bit graphic interface (Epsons, Stars, Okidatas, Toshibas…

My girlfriend has a 32K M100 and Chipmunk disk drive. I am thinking of suprising her with a copy of PCSG's WRITE ROM for Xmas, but have some conserns about the product. What are the reactions of other WRITE ROM owners? Is it compatable with the Chipmunk? Does it interfere…

Everything's tied together in the ROM, so it's one of those "all or nothing" affairs. In the two weeks interim, you might want to take Dave's suggestion on the freeware here called "Thinkit". Best Regards, Mike

I just downloaded wiht xmodem and took a look. On printer and screen of the Z-150 (& M100 this afternoon), the file appears to have several 260 byte lines. BUT many of the spaces are, in fact, TAB's (09hex with debug on the z-150. That may cause the Basic loader…

Just gave it a try at 1200 baud. Lines 9040,9050,9060 came without line numbers! That explains the long line (stuff after 9030 looked like part of 9030). I haven't tried an xmodem download; but that shouldn't be required. FYI — first 300 baud download was before 1800, in non-peak hours.…

From: Phil Wheeler Forum: Model 100 SIG November 27, 1985 1:04 AM
sorry about the false alarm, Dave. Could have been a bad download, but the first of those lines was 255 in Basic in my M100 — and the last 4 characters from the DO file had been chopped off, leading to a DS error on each of four load attempts.…
