[comp.sys.tandy] Model 100/102 software sources wanted....

bllawson@violet.waterloo.edu (Bob. L. Lawson) (03/10/88)

 I have just recently acquired a 32k model 100, and I would like to use it for
various jobs around the city. I do a lot of writing and such. I am interested
in contacting any individuals that have one of these machines. Also I would
like to find a source of software for this machine as RADIO  SHAFT in canada
has discontinued anything to do with this machine. If you have some programs
that you would like to pass along, or if you would care to just discuss this
machine please feel free to drop me a line here.....
   Thanks in advance

Probably the best place for M100 stuff is finding organizations that support
the machine.  Supposedly, there is a big Model 100 club in San Francisco.
I think compuserve may have some in the tandy conference (don't hold me to this,
I haven't been on compuserve for YEARS).  In DC, there is a SIG in NCTCUG
(National Capital Tandy Computer Users Group) which is *VERY* active with 100
stuff (if you want more info on this, mail me).  Hope this helps.

Sources for Model 100/102/200 software:

1) The *best* source for software is Compuserve. In the m100sig forum,
there is about 3300 files. They are about 50 percent programs and
40 percent documentation on programs and 10 percent articles and
other helpful files. There is an INDEX of all of this. It is re-generated
monthly. There are four versions of the INDEX. 
      A) one file - entire INDEX - 109000 bytes,
      B) spilt into four parts, 
      C) split into about 13 parts, 
      D) one file - only the additions since last month's INDEX.  

There are about 30-50 files added each month. 
There is just about every subject and application that you could
think of. I joined Compuserve just to build a personal library 
of Model 100 applications/utilities/games/etc,etc. If there is 
something special that you are looking for, let me know.

2) There is  M100 USERS GROUP called CLUB 100. They operate a BBS.
The BBS has listing of Public domain software that the club sells
on cassettes. I downloaded the list of programs available, I can
mail it to you (or post it here). The info on the club:
     Club  100: A Model 100 User Group
     P.O. Box 23438, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
     Contact: Richard Hanson (sysop)
     BBS phone # (415) 939-1246  (1200 baud)


Worth noting: Ultrasoft Innovations, Inc.  They print a M100/102/200
newsletter.  Call them at (514) 487-9293.
