Hi tandy.kind.of.people,
Does anybody know of quick-and-dirty ways to upgrade
the memory in a Tandy Model 100 laptop? My brother has a
couple of these things lying around unused, and we would like
to give them to (another still) younger brother, but the
RAM is pretty low. Do we have to go to Radio Shack for it?
Please respond via email, as my machine doesn't get
this group. Thanks to all...
Steve

Do we have to go to Radio Shack for it? > Steve 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. Ted G.
