I am up for some 100/102 talk! That unit is actually a big interest as
not only
are they vintage computers, but they fit in another of our displays,
"The tools of the journalist" . As a matter of fact we are looking for
another
to go in the display in our university's journalism college we have
offsite..
It does not need to work just look nice! There RS Computers were a
great tool to remotely post stories... and the 100 fit in any carry on
bag!
let us know if there is a unit you can share!

What sort of stuff do you tend to cover? My interest in Tandy / RS machines
is mostly limited to the Model 100/102 machines, with which I have some
familiarity.
The Model 100 line are my "favorite" of the early pre-PC / DOS portables.
The dang things are just so friendly and usable.. and what kind of modern
laptop / netbook boasts a full-stroke keyboard and 30+ HR battery life?
They have some seriously practical features, and the small screen & RAM
space isn't really all that limited with the programming conventions and
ethos of that era.
