to your question...

 > Could you steer me to the major differences between the 100 and 102 models

The 100 came before the 102.  The 102 is thinner and lighter then the 100, and
has a bit longer battery life.  The 102's function key layout is easier to use.
The 102's system bus is on the back edge vs. under the keyboard (100).  The
102's 8-bit high character set has a few, minor difference ... mainly the
placement of some of the graphic characters ... this is no biggie.  The 100 and
102 differ somewhat at the interrupt level but nothing that really matters at
the user level.

Other then the above, the 102 plays all the same programs as the 100 and uses
all the same periphrals except those that connect to the system bus.

Model 102's cost me a whole lot more money then the 100's, thus their sale
price is much higher ... if I can get it, of course.

That's about it.  -Rick-
