Ok, some more info:
	
	How do I ACCESS the ports.  This is a portable model, and on the
	LHS there is something like a 9 pin D socket, then there's an
	RS232 socket at the back, and another socket which for the moment
	eludes me, plus a phone and a cassette socket.

	1.  How do you talk and listen to the RS-232 socket?  From Basic?
		How do I change Baud rate, Parity and 7/8 bit settings?

	2.  What do the pinouts on the Phone socket do, and does ANYONE
	    have any info on how to use them?  Plead plead.

	3.  What does the 9 pin D socket at the side do?

	4.  What does the memory battery enable switch on the bottom do?
		{I think it's called that}

	5.  What can one do if one has no info on the TRS at all?
		I wouldn't be averse to writing an EPROM to plug in,
		if I knew (1. What CPU I'm writing for,  2. where I can
			get some info and 3. If it would work)


	6.  Last and most, are there any (no, rephrase that) WHAT special
		or Specialised basic commands are there in TRS-80 model
		100 basic?

Phew!	The total information I have at hand is:  It's a TRS80-Model 100-
	Portable, with something like 23K free at any one time.  I know no
	more than this.  

Thanks one and all

The less some people know the more eager they are to tell you about it.
