Dear Barry, I'll enclose a BASIC loader of TINY along with this message. After the message you will see that one of your options will be "file enclosed". Thanks for the extRAM kudos. I kind of like the little bugger myself too. I sounds like you've got a lot crammed in there! The first XR4 or super extrams are just a couple of weeks away. But it will take some time to figure out which ROMs it will work with and to try to iron out any bugs that crop up. In general, it should run OK with all the existing extRAM file-bank software. A lot of us have wondered about redesign of the 102 for more memory & speed & other goodies like builtin DOS loader (instead of cassette) and so on. Did you follow Mike Daigle's articles on the erstwhile "model 300"? Some of us would settle for an erstwhile "model 103". But there hasn't been a peep out of Tandy except to say that they are going to continue the 102 as long as it sells relative to some undefined marketing criterion. It wouldn't be hard to evolve the 102 into the 20th century, I think. What's on your wish list? -- Tracy
