There are several other companies that sell memory for the M100. All
of them are alot cheaper that RADIO-SHACK.  I don't have any of the
ads in front of me. I would suggest that you go to a large book/magazine
store and buy all the latest TRS-80 magazines. There is also a few
magazines for lap-tops and portables. There is a BBS for Model 100.
The phone number for the BBS is (415)939-1246. 
For Public Domain software sources, Compuserve is the biggest resource.

Steve, If you need more information, You can call me.

This has come up before, so I'll post rather than email.
I have successfully installed standard CMOS 8Kx8 RAMs into
the RAM expansion sockets of my Model 100. If you have a source
of these parts, and don't mind modifying the circuit board
(the decoder has to be rewired a little), email me and I will
send the info via USnail. (There are pictures, so I can't email.)
