There are a few ways you can expand your 102.  Of course, you should bring it
up to 32K, first, before doing anything else.  Then, you could go with an
extRAM, or XR4, or RAMPAC, or Booster Pac.  I will mail you detail sheets on
all these products for your persual.  Take a look in your mail box in a few
days.
 
I just looked over your file and see that you have a TPDD2 and TS-DOS on disk.
May I suggest going for TS-DOS ROM to not only free up your RAM but to better
utilize your disk drive.  Furthermore, since you also use Lapdos II, you can
easily connect your TPDD2 directly to your DOS computer and let Lapdos II
read/write directly off your TPDD2 diskettes.  In fact, Lapdos II was
originally designed to read the TPDD and TPDD2, before it was upgraded to use
as a direct-connect to the Model T's.
 
Adjunct to my last suggestion: By using your TPDD2 as a storage device, you not
only free up whatever RAM you currently have, but practice safe computing, in
that you will be saving your files to disk, instead of keeping them all in
volitile RAM--not a good practice.  Of course, you must carry your TPDD2 with
you.  In any case, TS-DOS on ROM is quite convenient and useful.
 
And, since you already have the TS-DOS manual, and have purchased the disk
version perviously, I will sell you the ROM for 1/2 half price ($50 / 2 = $25)
and will pick up the shipping.
 
Just trying to help the cause... -Rick-
