[comp.sys.tandy] Olivetti M10?

oster@dewey.soe.berkeley.edu (David Phillip Oster) (09/14/87)

The current issue of PICO magazine has an article on patching Model 100
programs so that they will run on the M10.

Pico, the magazine of portable computing
P.O.Box 481
Peterborough, NH 03458-0481

Monthly, $29.97 per year.  The Sept. issue is 38 pages long.

I also recommend:

_Inside the Model 100_
by Carl Oppendahl, 334 pages
Weber Systems,
8437 Mayfield Road
Chesterland, Ohio 44026
$19.95

It breaks down the Model 100 ROM, giving a detailed, section by
section look at what each part does.  According to articles on the M10
in Pico magazine, its ROMs are the same as the Model 100/102, except that
certain sections have been removed, and the rest relocated so that the
holes aree filled in.

I use my model 100 as a remote Macintosh: I takes notes on it, then
dump them to the Macintosh for editing.  It would be nice to have a squish
routine that would pack text files on the 100, so that I could go longer
between uploads. Has someone already written this?

It be nice to have the Model 100 turn itself on, beep and display a
text reminder at a given date and hour. What is currently available?

Would some kind soul who also has access to CompuServe please let me
know what software is avaliable on CompuServe for the Model 100.

I'm having trouble thinking of interesting software to put on it.

As a real low-level background task, I am sloooowly working on making
the Macintosh and the model 100 play duets with each other.
