Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6209 (QUESTION ON VIEW80 IN CATALOG)
Back to you... > On the subject of the NEW catalog, I got mine the other day. > Looks nice as always. The Jan special has got me planning.... Soon I > am going to order some goodies for my machines..... Thank you. I tried to keep it up-beat and interesting. Also, if you go past Jan 31st don't steat it. I've gotten a lot of complaints about the mail being so late arriving around the country that I'm extending the sale through February. All "just heard about you" folks receive a modified sales flyer. And, everyone knows me well enough to know I'll be flexible. > ' > ' The above two lines you inserted in your message to use as paragraph breaks. They don't work ... it still wrapps. May I suggest just putting a space on a blank line before hitting <enter>. It's the old standby that works like a charm everytime. > In that light, what is the diff in the m200 and m100 version of the > ROM2/Cleuseau ROM?

In fact, the code itself has to be almost totally rewriten for the two separate platforms ... one of the reasons 3rd party developers didn't write more ROM code for these machines ... but still, there is quite a bit available. About a year ago, I accquired the "developers" version for the Model 100/102 so that is what I've been burning and shipping for the past year ... with the added documentation. I do not have a developers version for the Model 200 but then there is little call for Model 200 ROMware, anyway. For instance, for every one, Model 200 ROMware request, I receive about 200 requests for Model 100/102 ROMware. And, of course, these figures are relitive as all "counts" are dropping off sharply as Model "T" computers age. Nevertheless, the Model 200 version of the ROM2/Cleuseau ROM is excellent. Here's an idea: Buy the Model 100/102 version and for $20 more I'll include the Model 200 version. You'll receive the docs, the added docs and two ROMs, the developers version for the Model 100/102 and the normal version for the Model 200. How's that for a deal ... and, it's 20% off for the sale!!! This is called ... really pertty cool! Besides, since you have the interest, I'd rather see you have the tools then not have the tools. This "feeling" is what keeps Club 100 more of a club then a business. Thanks for asking, Andy. -Rick-
