Well, I finally got something I've wanted ever since I saw the first one in
a Radio Shack. The only problem is I get the feeling it doesn't work.
Using the powerbrick from my Tandy WP-2 I was able to turn it on, however,
unless I adjust the contrast up the screen is blank, well, even when
adjusted up, it's blank. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I don't. But tell me about the WP-2. I'm aware of a
local pawnshop
that has one for $20 and I've been trying to decide whether to pick it up.
I do have the technical manuals for the 102 somewhere (it would take me a while
to find), which include schematics. I also have development tools for
making your
own EPROMs (a C compiler with a library for the 102, bundled with
DRI's RMAC and
LINK-80. I'm not certain I have all of the manuals; I may have sent some of the
DRI manuals to Tim Olmstead for scanning for the Unofficial CP/M Web Site).

Pretty much the same formfactor, but the screen isn't as high. Basically
all it's good for is a Word Processor, and a *very* simplistic terminal
(remember the thing is only a few lines). I bought one on closeout
somewhere around '92, but it was such a pain to get info on and off I never
really used it.
