Okay, James, one Lib Cat disk is on its way to you.  This will be the beta-test
copy.  Check it out and give me some feedback.  You, and all the other Lib Cat
beta-testers will receive the first of the complete disks.  Glad you like the
idea.
 
Accessing BASIC and TEXT while online is old hat.  We've got several programs
in the library telcom listings that do that.  And yes, Ultrasoft's DOS has that
link as well.  However, since the Model 100 has only 1 UART, we are still faced
with not being able to access the TPDD while online.  Adding a second UART is
just not something that most of our members can do by themselves, unless it was
a plug-n-go thing; like a second UART that attached to the bar code reader
port, supported through programming, of course.
 
I thought it would be best to bring this thread into the open for other
feedback and see that developes.  Keep up the good work.  -Rick-
