I saw an article in the current issue of Byte about a new modem chip. Has anyone made available a small 1200 BPS modem for the M100 or M200 internally (or external, but very small for portability)? Seems like this chip would do it. — John Merritt CIS 72747,171 /exit

There is one that was just announced, that plugs into the RS232 port, and offers tone dialing and 1200 baud. Sells for about $250, and is the size of a cigarette pack. From the same folks that make the touchbase modem for the NEC.

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE TIP ON THE 1200 BAUD CIGARETTE PACK FROM TOUCHBASE. I'll give them a call. Now, if only there were a ROM version of FORTH, such as WRITE-ROM or LUCID that could create a crash-FORTH development environment for the M100/200–Any word of this? Thanks again- John O.

Well, you can check the files FORTH.REV and FORTH.UPD in DL6 for some information…. Also look over Rick Mendosa's compilation of commercial programs available for the 100 in the file SOFTWR.100 (also in DL6). Good Luck.
