  • But it was fun.  Turn it on and the Cursor is blinking over BASIC.

    Speed, what can you squeeze out of an 8085 clocked at 2.4576 MHz?  Given that, it is remarkably snappy, even running the BASIC interpreter.  32kBytes of ROM, 32kBytes of RAM--Remind you of anything? 

    Another book to look for is "Inside the Model 100", written by another fan, Carl Oppendahl.   "8085 Assembly Language Programming, Advanced BASIC programming, Hardware Overview--Keyboard, LCD, Printer Interface, Cassette I/O, Beeper, Power Supply, RS232, Modem". ISBN 0-938862-31-6.


    Excellent!Any idea where I'd find it? Amazon is showing its inner Luddite with regards to that one. Oh and Abe works for them.

    My mistake. Amazon may show its inner Luddite regarding some of the M100 family books, but not that one. Next on my wish list it is.

    No.
    He used an AppleIIC with the extremely rare flatscreen LCD screen.




    You're right, Buck! In any case, I wonder how visible an LCD screen is outdoors.

    With sunglasses on. :)
    Hope he keeps sand out of all those ventilation slots.

    Indeed. However I saw one at VCFE this past April. Also a good assortment of others a member of the Apple II family. And even the big crowd of DEC gang members.
  • alibris.com has several model 100 books available.

  • There is a used copy of "Inside the Model 100" listed on Amazon for $5.50 + ship.  Other listings, up to $281--You've got to be kidding!

    I agree.I've discussed other issues regarding books with the people on the phone concerning other books. Naturally the explanation made sense at the time.
    I've added the book, and at that price, to my wish list. I also added a hard copy of the Waite Group's book to the same list, I found a copy on the website in the form of an easily readable PDF.
    You mentioned memory upgrades earlier on, the one that's next to the two empty sockets looks to be an ordinary 6264 device, does this mean I can install a second one into the regular socket? (That's next to the ROM module next to it.) As for the ROM modules, who's a good fit for that, that is where I could find them.
