Once upon a midnight dreary, Mike Ford had spoken clearly:
What's the
difference between the 100 and the 102? Any other models?
Isn't there some really active Model 100 mailing list or newsgroup even?
Okay... haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but I *do* have to step in
here... (so I don't have a 4000 page email by the time I'm done with the
thread! ;-)
There is a good mailing list for the Kyocera-based laptops (Tandy Models
100/200/102, NEC 8201A, Olivetti M10, and others -- but not the Tandy 600 -
it was OEM'ed by Zenith) -- to subscribe send an empty message to
m100-subscribe(a)list.30below.com, you'll receive a confirmation email, just
click reply and send. You'll be subbed. If you have problems, just contact
me - I admin the list.
Also, if anyone -- ahem -- *Anyone* has any Model 100/102/200 files, just
email them to me, I have an FTP space available as well:
ftp://ftp.30below.com/Model100
The man to know about the Model 'T's as they're affectiontely called is
Rick Hanson - he *still* makes a portion of his living by supporting these
beloved little machines - his website is chuck full of information,
programs & stuff for them:
http://www.the-dock.com/club100.html *Plus* he
has a guestbook, for sale and wanted classified lists - you can go there to
get a good idea what the computers are still worth, which is considerable
despite their age. They were *very* popular machines, especially with
journalists. Tell him I sent you... he's a fantastic guy.
If you have any other questions (which I may get to later in the thread),
just send 'em my way.
Thanks,

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
