1. Model 100 in black plastic briefcase style carrying case from Radio
Shack. In it was a Model 100 with a black leather case, a Radio Shack
cassette player in it's own black leather case model 26-1209, half dozen
different cables, 2 cassette tapes in cases, a two piece acoustic
coupler (25-3805) for the model 100. Pretty cool little setup.
2. Apple LC580 all-in-one unit
3. Tandy 4000 cpu only
4. Apple III monitor
5. Radius Color Pivot monitor
6. Mac 6500/250 tower with built-in Zip drive
7. Tektronix type 561A Oscilloscope comes with a type 3A6 Dual-Trace
amplifier and type 3B3 time Base. Guy let me have it for $2
8. Unisys flat tape drive
9. Atari LYNX unit with ac adapter
10. Manual for the Black Mac TV
And more items than I can list due to their age (less than 10).

Considering that the M100 demand is still so high, your score of
that thing with all its bits is little sureal.
There must be 200 sites with pages about that machine,
still pretty popular for the "field work" crowd

New subject: DM8835 quad bi-directional transceiver
Does anyone have a source for the above-mentioned (or equivalent) chip?
Second question. Am I correct that a 74367 or 8T97 will substitute
directly for a DM8097 hex tri-state buffer?
Thanks,
Louis

Ok, the response was overwhelming. So, what would YOU do if you needed
to replace a DM8835 in your SWTPc 6800?
I haven't even been able to locate a data sheet, so I could see if
something else is comparable. Any help there?
Now, admittedly this isn't as interesting as "What's wrong with
computers today." But it is the kind of thing I thought we discussed
on this list. But that may be my mistake.

You can get DS8835 at B. G. Micro www.bgmicro.com for $1.50.
I just put a copy of the DS8835 data sheet on my web site. (It is a 180k
PDF file)

The cost was only $20 but I could have gotten it lower ($2.50) had it
not been for another guy who thought it was a windows laptop and he bid
it up. He later told me he was sorry for his mistake and that he was not
just trying to run up the price on me.

Good greif, well there sure is a following and companies that use
that machine for current work, the fellow @ the url below
is doing quite a business with them, repairs, finding additional
units to supply staff expansion etc
It seems their simplicity, low battery drain and ruggeness has
made them standard gear, and they havent found anything
that is an as-good replacement for them.

Well, as it happens, I acquired a TRS-80 Model 100 just last week
(for free, in return for fixing a dead switch-mode power supply).
It has a very fine leather-effect case as well as Scripsit word
processing software on cassette.

Most people I've showed it to comment on how good the keyboard
is compared to a modern laptop. If it had had batteries in, no doubt
they'd have commented on how very poor the display is compared
to a modern laptop!

Rumor has it that Tony Duell may have mentioned these words:
Sure the resolution is much lower than we'd expect
now (it's 40*8 text
characters, for example), but I've always found the M100 display to be
easy to read and _ideal_ for use when entering small-ish amounts of text.
The M100 is one of those products that was well-designed to solve a real
problem. The built-in programs (particularly the text editor and terminal
emulator) are what many people really _need_.
Except when you _need_ a bigger screen & better cursor keys... that's why I
love my Tandy 200! ;-)

Damn you John! Lynx was cool back in the day. Used to play with one at a
cousin's house who also had an old C64. The 6500/250 Tower is also cool.
You seem to have a good catch this time around =)
