Dear Hugh,
  You're very welcome.  I'm very pleased to hear that the chip worked so well
and that you were able to use all the software, including the ROM chips.  Now,
would you be interested in an XR4, so you could expand your on-board memory up
to 160k?  I didn't realize before that the option ROM sockets were the same on
the Kyo and the T100/102.
  
  I can not get into the business of making chips for the unit.  This was
somewhat in the nature of an experiment, to see if it worked.  The copyright
for the chip is held by Microsoft, on both the M100 and on the Kyo85, and I
don't know what interest Tandy might have in it, because some of the software
in the M100 was licensed directly to Tandy.  I can't imagine that at this late
stage of the game anyone would care, but I have to keep this low-key
