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-
