Subj: NEC 8201 AND RAMPAC

Welcome to Club 100 Scott.  You and Gary Weber, another NEC laptop user, need
to chat.  Gary is interested in how Rampacs and NECs mate together.  In this
regard, see MSG#6514 and MSG#6509.  I'm doing a lot of Rampac related
programming lately.  Several irons in the fire.  Should have a dynomite Rampac
diagnostic finished before long and put it in the Downloads menu of this board.
Between you and Gary, this BASIC program can be expanded to include, or another
version made exclusive to, the NEC laptops.

I prefer to expand it.  Gary and I have "zero fingerprints" for Tandy laptops
100, 102, and 200, and for the NEC laptops.  Such fingerprints make it easy for
a program to detect which laptop is at hand before committing and laptop
specific action.  That way, branch is made to laptop specific parts of a
program based on the laptop which is executing the program.  So a single
program is generic to a wide range of different laptop models.

Again, welcome aboard!
