Interesting things about T200
Pros vs M100/T102
- Hardware accelerated screen so much faster display than M100/T102
- Can wake up on timer
- Real arrow keys in diamond pattern
- Kill (and I think rename) files directly from Menu
- Built-in spreadsheet
- "Grep" through any text file like you can with SCHED and NOTE (I
have tiny BASIC program that will let you do this on M100/T102)
- Calculator function
- Capable of three independent banks of RAM (though REX more than
neutralizes this advantage)
- Touch tone dialing
- Many M100/T102 programs have T200 versions
Cons
- Heavier
- Screen is a little less dark than M100/T102
- Takes up more vertical space since flip-up screen
- My unit's hardware at least won't usefully go past 19200bps serial
connection like my M100, T102 units will
- Less RAM per bank than in M100/T102's single bank
- Not really software compatible with M100/T102 except for pure BASIC programs
