Wait a minute ... yes you do, sir...

The program called BoosterLink (AKA DeskLink) runs on your DOS computer and
emulates the TPDD drive with added features.

You start by running the program in a subdirected named ROOT.  You then connect
a full-null, null modem cable, or CompLink Cable (see catalog) between your
Model 100, 102 or 200 and the serial port (COM1 or COM2) on your MSDOS
computer.  Lastly, you use either the Booster Pak's built in version of TS-DOS
or TS-DOS if you don't have a Booster Pak, to transfer files.

Although it is not in our catalog, we offer BoosterLink on either 5.25" or 3.5"
MS-DOS disk for just $24.95.  Our CompLink cables are still just $17.50.  You
may use the (O)order feature in the (8)ClubStuff area with a Visa or MasterCard
to get ... the solution!!

 > Where do I have my old M100 and my PDD1 repaired?  

EME Systems, Berkeley, CA, repairs Model 100's, 102's and 200's.  Contact them
(Tracy Allen) at 510-848-5725 or 5748 fax.  You'll want to ask them about TPDD
repair but you might have to send the TPDD to RatShack!
