I am looking for help, and input from anyone that has used the tandy 100/102 laptops with their amateur radio set-ups. Especially with packet or station management. Any and all input is helpful (how, why, and what) thanks swood

Especially with >packet or station management. A tandy 100 was used in the first mobile and portable packet experiments here in Canberra. :-) Friend of mine had it setup in the car. Somebody connected to say hello and was rather confused when Doug typed back "not now I'm driving". :-) We use that same m100 quite a bit when we go to a remote digipeater site as the terminal end of a TNC-2/HH portable station configuration. There is also a BBS available for the m100 written in basic that seems to work ok over packet however with the growing number of PMSs it's not really worthwhile. Most TNC's now have more processing power than a m100. Carl.
