Your best bet on information on interfacing the Model 100 is the Service Manual
(R/S Catalog Number 26-3801/3802). The easiest ports to use are:
Cassette Relay (Use BASIC "MOTOR ON" AND "MOTOR OFF" to turn it on and off)
BAR CODE Port – For controling serial devices
RS-232 Port – For serial devices
Sears, Tandy, and BSR sell controllers that allow individual AC devices or
Lamps to be turned on and off; although this system can NOT tell if a given
device is on or off. I use this for a sort of burglar discourager (it shuts my
lights on and off randomly at night when I am not home). Computer controllers
are available to interface with computers.
Let me know if you need more information.
