Recently I bought a Tandy 200 off the net... while I am extremely happy with the computer I was quite surprised to find that very little of the software that I had bought over the years for my 100 would work on it. While most .BA programs will run (if they fit in the more limited memory) I could not find even one .CO program that would run?? I know they both use an 80C85... is the problem with ROM differances??? If so has anyone produced a list of common ROM calls and the offsets between the ROM's... Furthermore, does anyone know of any sources for software that are still in business??? It took over an hour and several phone calls to different RSCC's to find out where to get more RAM... but no one appears to have software. Also... if software for a machine is no longer marketed is it kosher to trade it... and does anyone have any 200 software to trade??? I have a few things that I converted (like Adventure)...
