I have a disassembler for the Model 100 that I used to dump out, and then print the entire ROM code. I have done this purely out of curiousity, and also hoping to find neato routines that I could use. However, it takes quite a while to determine what a given routine does, and I don't really know where to start. So . . . Does a commented source code listing exist (somebody else must have done this before)? Failing that, how about a list of entry points for useful, interesting routines. How about where the application programs begin, etc, etc. IS there a published memory map for the RAM? Thank you for any pointers and help you can give. -- Mark Ferris smart: ferris@tcville.edsg.hac.com Image and Signal Processing Lab dumb: ferris%tcville@hac2arpa.hac.com Hughes Aircraft Co., EDSG uucp: hacgate!tcville!ferris

There are various books that document some of the RAM and ROM addresses in the 100, 102 and 200. A good starting point would be to buy a copy of the Model 100 Technical Reference Manual. The catalog number was 26-3810. I donn't think they are still available but you ought to be able to find one somewhere. -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.

A complete guide to everything you want, a location by location description of the hardware and all the routines is contained in a book entitled: "Inside the Model 100" Unfortunately, I can't tell you any more than that. My copy is not where it should be on its shelf. We had a small earthquake here a few days ago, and that bookshelf was one of the victims.

The "TRS-80 Model 100 Tech Reference Manual" is a piece of trash compared to "Inside the Model 100". I own them both. The tech manual has circuit diagrams, and a very few routine names, addresses, and calling sequences. Inside the Model 100 has detailed descriptions of the hardware, and a line-by-line documentation of the ROM. My copy is still missing, so I can't give you ordering info. I wrote a nifty program for the Model 100: On a Macintosh, my program duplicates the Finder's desktop, except for an additional window that is a bit for bit copy of the Model 100's display. To move a file from the 100 to the mac, just drag its name into a mac folder and drop it. It turns into a mac text file complete with icon. You can drag text files from the mac to the Model 100 the same way. To rename a model 100 file, you just click on the picture of the name and type a new one. Unfortunately, you can't buy it. It is tied up in contractual problems.

I would be very interested in that program as I am currently using my model 100 to input text which I am later sending to my amiga (which I use under a mac emulator). I use macs at work so I run an emulator on my amiga. I would also like to know where I can purchase a ram expansion module for my model 100 is you could give me any numbers of ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Paul.

I just got off the phone with them, and was told that while they do have some copies of "Exploring the Model 100" (by another author), "Inside the Model" is now OUT OF STOCK. -- Andreas Meyer N2FYE AT&T National Systems Support Center uucp: ..!sunybcs!nsscb!ameyer or: ameyer%nsscb@sunybcs.cs.buffalo.edu If everyone's knees bent the other way, what would chairs look like?
