Thank you.  I tried to keep it up-beat and interesting.  Also, if you go past
Jan 31st don't steat it.  I've gotten a lot of complaints about the mail being
so late arriving around the country that I'm extending the sale through
February.  All "just heard about you" folks receive a modified sales flyer.
And, everyone knows me well enough to know I'll be flexible.

The above two lines you inserted in your message to use as paragraph breaks.
They don't work ... it still wrapps.  May I suggest just putting a space on a
blank line before hitting <enter>.  It's the old standby that works like a
charm everytime.

Your guess is correct.  Model 100/102 ROMs and Model 200 ROMs are not
interchangable.  In fact, the code itself has to be almost totally rewriten for
the two separate platforms ... one of the reasons 3rd party developers didn't
write more ROM code for these machines ... but still, there is quite a bit
available.

About a year ago, I accquired the "developers" version for the Model 100/102 so
that is what I've been burning and shipping for the past year ... with the
added documentation.  I do not have a developers version for the Model 200 but
then there is little call for Model 200 ROMware, anyway.  For instance, for
every one, Model 200 ROMware request, I receive about 200 requests for Model
100/102 ROMware.  And, of course, these figures are relitive as all "counts"
are dropping off sharply as Model "T" computers age.  Nevertheless, the Model
200 version of the ROM2/Cleuseau ROM is excellent.

Here's an idea: Buy the Model 100/102 version and for $20 more I'll include the
Model 200 version.  You'll receive the docs, the added docs and two ROMs, the
developers version for the Model 100/102 and the normal version for the Model
200.  How's that for a deal ... and, it's 20% off for the sale!!!

This is called ... really pertty cool!  Besides, since you have the interest,
I'd rather see you have the tools then not have the tools.  This "feeling" is
what keeps Club 100 more of a club then a business.

Thanks for asking, Andy.  -Rick-
