Tandy Model 102 -answer-

A couple of weeks ago, I posed a question to the group concerning the Tandy Model 102 I had aquired and it's mysterious option ROM. Well today I finally got the 102 connected to my 486 laptop (used as a file server) and backed up all the files I'd been working on so that I could experiment with the option ROM a bit. It turns out to be a Point-of-sale program! It even has 'Payroll' and data transfer options. It was meant to be used by more than one store (it asks for a store # upon install) and is also password protected. Anyway, it's pretty interesting and I figured some of you might find it so as well. I also managed to dig out the NEC PC-8221A printer and got it working again. Too bad it's print seems to fade to near-nothing in a year or so, though it starts out black. It does work nicely with the 102 and doesn't even require formatting software.
