I found a neat little battery model on eBay.

A small and faster modem might come in handy. The 300 bd modem might not be
recognised any more by modern providers. A 1200bd one might do the trick -
if you find one.

Make a Club 100 CompLink cable either with a db25 male n both ends or 
use a male/male adaptor on the female end.  Such a cable will work 
super.  Here's the link to a cable diagram and photos of a cable 
being made ... http://www.club100.org/library/doc/cables.html

Re: Question

Having a few extra Model 100's laying around opens up some 
opportunities.  Here are some ideas...

In the Club 100 program Libraries you will find well over a thousand 
pre-made programs ready to run.  If you load an alarm clock into one 
of your Model 100s you will have a high tech alarm clock.  And, in 
with all the programs, is a set that plays music as its alarm.

Load up one of the Model 100s with a quiz, wherein you design the 
questions and answers.  Use it as flash cards in order to memorize 
things, such as equations like "e" equals mick-2, or definitions, or 
even the capitol of every state in your country.  In fact, I did this 
for all the states in the united states.  And now I know the capitol 
of each.  For instance, the capitol of California is "C", whereas the 
capitol of Ohio is "O".

You will also find some games, such as, like chess and monopoly and 
even poker.  If you think watching TV is boring, try playing 
solitaire on a Model 100 for a few days straight ... without food ... 
without taking a bath ... while laying in bed and not getting up for 
anything ... just solitaire.

Of course, you could also set one of your spare Model 100s up to 
control your sprinkler system, or to feed your fish ... whichever 
comes first.  The possibilities are endless.

Hey... here's a simple clock to get you started...

You could network them and create a Beowulf cluster.

I don't think the fish would find an M100 very edible.

Re: Question

Hello Kalab:

I do not understand; perhaps I've missed something that was said earlier in
this message thread.

Yes, the Model 102 has the same speed limitation as the Model 100 in regard
to painting symbols and scrolling the LCD screen.  That speed limit is a
matter of the scroll, rather than of painting symbols.

In terms of Baud, the speed limit is greater than 600 Baud but less then
1200 Baud.  Consequently under TELCOM operation at 600 Baud or less, the
screen scroll keeps pace without missing any symbols, but at 1200 Baud or
more, some symbols are missed due to screen scroll.

If you turn off screen scroll (i.e., overpaint symbols) under TELCOM
operation (e.g., a hot-key function installed via TERMBY.CL) then the speed
limit is much greater because it's a matter only of painting symbols.  Thus,
under TELCOM operation at 19200 Baud the screen symbol painting keeps pace
without missing any symbols.

So much for the facts.

Re: Connect M100 to M200

Hello :

> If anybody has any comments or suggestions,
> I'm always willing to listen and learn. :-)

Offhand, I offer two suggestions.  #1 is trivial; #2 is involved.

#1.  Phrase CLOSE1,2 can be simplified as CLOSE.  CLOSE closes all Outer
File Buffers that are open, which in this case amounts to two Outer File
Buffers.

#2.  Preserve the MAXFILES assignment so that is the same afterwards as it
is initially.  Otherwise the before/after difference in avaliable Free
memory is perplexing and "unfriendly" to users.  For example, by cold start
default the MAXFILES assignment is 1, after conclusion of this BASIC program
the MAXFILES assignment is 2 and consequently this would cause a
before/after difference in avaliable Free memory of 267 (volume consumed by
one Outer File Buffer), in addition to the expected (based on file transfer
activity) difference in avaliable Free memory.

To preserve the MAXFILES assignment, a 1-cell hidey-hole must be used and
two subroutines should be added: a "save beforehand" subroutine to save the
initial MAXFILES assignment as content within the hidey-hole cell, and a
"restore afterwards" subroutine to reference content of the hidey-hole cell
and restore the original MAXFILES assignment.

Arbitrarily, say that the line numbers of the added subroutines,
respectively are: 998 for the "save beforehand" subroutine, and 999 for the
"restore afterwards" subroutine.  Given the current construct of the BASIC
program, four lines must be modified, as shown below, in order to
