Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4207 (MODEL 102/DD)
Bill: Good questions. Let's take them by the numbers. First off, let me congratulate you on your KILLER DEAL on a Model 102 and TPDD2 (Tandy Portable Disks Drive 2) for just $35.00. I will gladly buy any deal like that you find, any day of the week. I have standing orders for Model 102's and TPDD2's. I get $325 for a 32K Model 102 and $140 for the TPDD2. I am sold out of both right now; both here and up in my Washington state warehouse. So, now you know what kind of a deal you really landed. Again, congratulations!!! Hey Bill... I'll double your money right now for you!! (grin) 1) More RAM then 32K for your Model 102: The upper limit of RAM for a Model 102 is 32K. You are maxed out but this is not a bad thing. You may, of course, add temporary RAM and/or RAM banks. I have a 5 page detail sheet that I would be glad to send you regarding your RAM options. Note: I'm working on getting all these detail sheets online. This will happen sometime in the near future. 2) Would like an external monitor: The "only" external monitor set up for the Model T's was the DVI (Disk Video Interface). Some folks love their DVI and other don't. Thus, you are stuck with an easy to read, 40 column, 8 line, 600 baud, LCD. Hint: If you add a Power Pillow (a 4, "D" cell battery holder we manufacture, that attaches to the back bottom of the Model T) you effectively tilt your model 102 to a very nice typing angle, making the LCD easy to read as well, and extending the battery life to about 200 hours. Power Pillow's are just $19.95 + tax and shipping. 3) What's that other IC plug for?: It's called a Molex connector and is there for you to add option ROM software. We, of course, are "the" source for all the option ROM software available for Model T's. I'll refer you to the Club 100 1992 catalog for a listing of the option ROM software available. 4) Decoding Morse Code and RTTY, eh? May I direct your attention to area number 4, (4)Library. You will find information in the (4)Library area that will lead you to the items you are looking for. Also, as a HAM user, you might want to read file # 13 in the (H)elpfiles off the (T)op menu. It's called "HAM List" and was compiled by a fellow HAM and staff member of Club 100 just for you... and all other HAM's. I'll stop here for now. Again, good questions. Hope this helps... -Rick-
