Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4824 (WHERE ARE YOU???)
---- Hi Frank... thanks for the message... let me see if I can quickly cover the bases for you. > Sent my fax to you months ago and haven't heard from you. What did > I do wrong?? I'll look for your fax tomorrow. Frankly, Frank... I get so much mail, e-mail, faxes, and letters that I tend to miss things, or set long questions aside for another day--a few months later--that getting back to folks is getting pretty tough. My first priority is getting orders out the door, then comes my other businesses, then family, then coorispondance, other then e-mail. Sorry for the delay. > Figured that I'd try the BBS. This works nice, first time in it for > me. The fax that I sent Thanked you for the reminder and thanked > you for the good work in keeping the old little guys (M100's) > supported. And thank you, Frank. Glad you like the BBS, too. > I would like more innfo on the EXTRAM, XR4 and booster > pak. Which fits inside? Specs? will they work with Super Rom and > lapdos? Does anyone still sell or have for sale used, the 256k > "horse shoe" ram upgrade that fits inside the M100 case? extRAM and XR4 fit inside. The Boostr Pak is a second bottom to your laptop. Yes, SuperROM works in all of these. It's easiest in the Booster Pak, then the XR4, then the extRAM. The extRAM is a 2nd RAM bank that may be used as a RAM bank or for option ROM operations (either, or but not both at the same time. The XR4 is like having 4, extRAM's. Each bank may be used as a RAM bank or for option ROM operations. You can mix up the banks as you see fit, i.e., two ROM's and 2 RAMs, or 1 and 3 or all 4 one way. The Booster Pak is a RAM disk storage unit that provides option ROM swapping. The system ROM's in the pak include TS-DOS. Lapdos II works just fine with the extRAM or the XR4 but Booster-Link (Desk-Link) is best for the Booster Pak. I carry all of these items, including the RAM's, Booster Pak's, etc. Sorry, but the old, horse-shoe shapped RAM devices are long gone. > Have been using M100 a lot lately with Super Rom's Thought pgm. > Kind of rediscovered it and am using it to help manage projects I'm > doing. It's great but need more memory. A whole lot of folks are rediscovering their Model T's--yet, another reason I'm so dog-gone busy these days. Besides, I now advertise in Editor & Publisher Magazine. All the news agencies around the world read that mag and they are all calling me for phone/modem cables, printer cables, used Model T's etc. It's great! But I am very much behind in my work. > Looking forward to your reply. I'll check back here in a few days > for your reply. Feel free to send info on any of above to my > address. If my original fax didn't make it, I have a copy here and > would be glad to retransmit. Let me know. I hope my reply helps. I'm just finishing up e-mail for the evening before hitting the sack--been on the computers since I awoke this morning. Don't bother with resending your fax. Seems like you've got a good handle on e-mailing on the BBS. I can reply much quicker here then faxing--but faxing is a second best method for e-mailers; 1st best method for non-e-mailers. -Rick-
