No.

The Model 100 is an 8-bit machine. That means only 64k *total* (without
resorting to things like bank-switching, which the 100 wasn't designed
for). 32k of that is taken up by the ROMs which have the things like
BASIC, TELCOM, TEXT, etc. That leaves 32k. 

Some of that is required for overhead. You *may* have the full 32k and 
have a bunch of files taking up the space, *or* you may have one of
the old 24k units, in which case you can get 8k of RAM more than you have.
But finding someone who still sells the right module could be a problem.

clear *everything*. All the .BA files, all the .DO files, and all the
.CO files. If the "bytes free" on the main menu is less than 24000, you
can get more ram. If it's bigger, you've ggot all there is.

No, the COMM program supplied with DOS isn't worth booting up.  Also, DON'T 
purchase VIDTex from the Radio Shack store, as it is as worthless as your 
COMM program.  I suggest public domain programs, such as XTerm4 or FASTPLUS, 
which you can obtain from most TRS-80 supporting BBS's.  I will get an ASCII 
terminal program entered later, it will allow you to do Xmodem transfers at 
300 baud so that you can download a decent terminal program, stay tuned...

For Sale:  PC-Express 286 Board for Tandy 1000, 1000A, 1000SX.  Mint 
condition with all original packaging and documentation.  
 
The PC-Express board was marketed by Tandy ($299 in Tandy catalogs) and 
built by an outside firm.  
 
Pro:  It replaces the 8088 cpu with a 286 cpu.  In my 1000SX it triples 
the speed of most functions.  
 
Con:  It requires one slot, and the machine remains an 8-bit computer.  
 
I have other computers now, and I need money, so I'm skeletonizing my 
trusty 1000SX.  The 286 board is first to go. 
 
$150.

Organization: Just Computers!

I believe a fair number of Coco heads hang around in these parts and might
be able to assist me.  I need information regarding the following items:

1.  I have a multipak interface and for some reason I recall a modification
    that needs to be done for this to work effectively with my CoCo 3.  Is
    this the case and if so, what modification needs to be done?

2.  I am using a FD-501 floppy drive.  It has only one drive installed.  Can
    I use a normal "IBM" 360K type drive for the 2nd floppy drive?  Also,
    should the disk controller ROM work OK with my CoCo 3?

3.  My CoCo 3 only has the standard 128K of memory installed.  I have done a
    fair amount of hardware soldering and so forth.  Are there readily 
    available instructions to upgrade the memory to 512K without buying the
    kits that the various firms are selling? (I already have mundo memory
    chips around the house).

4.  Are they readily available instructions for building my own hard drive
    interface for the CoCo 3?  If so, where would I find them?

5.  If I want to run OS-9 and do C programming, what versions do I need to
    work effectively with my CoCo 3?

6.  What are the "hot" programs for this system that are must haves that are
    either public domain or shareware?

I just recently purchased this system and would appreciate any information for
a "newbie".  Thanks in advance.

A few years ago an outfit called (I believe) Purple Computing
made add-on RAM to take the Model 100 over 100K.  It used bank
switching, and there were limitations on how the ram could be
accessed.  You might want to check back-issues of some of the
Model 100 support magazines for ads or addresses.

Ed:
     I've had a V-20 in my 1000SX for a couple years now, and it works 
great!  Never had ANY problem caused by the chip.  The speed 
improvement's not very big (15% to 25%) but, hey, for $6.95 it's better'n 
a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.  
 
     Don't let the "10 mz" fool you:  you'll still be running the same 
clock speed (it's 7.16 mz, isn't it?).  The improvement, I'm told, comes 
from a more efficient assembler progression:  fewer steps to do the same 
dance.
 
     Now if you want a REAL speed improvement, check out the 286 Express 
Board!  OooEEEE!  That board will make your machine run faster'n a 
one-armed paper hanger in a room full of rocking chairs!  Problem is, 
those Express Boards are quite rare nowadays.  If you find one, grab it!

From what I am hearing there is still a fair percentage of the user base that
is using Mentor V7.  We are emphasizing V8 but talks concerning Mentor V7 are
still welcome. The best thing to do is to contact the program committee and
check with them on your proposed presentation.  Paul Bompastore is the chairman
of the program committe and he is still looking for speakers.  If you get your
abstract in by August 28 you will be be eligible for the drawing for a room
upgrade to a suite at the Marriott (we are giving away 15 room upgrades so your
chances are pretty good).  Here is Pauls address info:

The meeting fee has not been set yet. Last year the fee was $325 if you were far
enough in advance (I think about 2 weeks) and $350 after that.  The lunch program
was an additional $50.  This year the fees will probably be either the same as
last year or $25 more and the lunch program will probably be the same as it was
last year.  We will make a final decision once Kristin Hyde
(MUG administrator/treasurer) has had a chance to review last year's books and
do a few calculations in an attempt to estimate this year's expected expenses
and expected income.  I believe the hotel room rate will be somewhere between
$80 and $90.

Does anyone know where the `movement' of pin properites is documented?

What I'm trying to do is make a `vcc' symbol that will work in both quicksim
and accusim.  To do this, I put both an `init' propery and a `dcinit' property
on the pin in the vcc symbol.

However, when I instantiate the symbol, only one of the properties `moves' to
the net (in my case, the init property) ... the other one sticks to the pin.
The result is that quicksim sees the property correctly but accusim doesn't.

This is a misunderstanding.  There is not a deadline which speakers need to
meet in order to have their fee waived.  Speakers will have their fee waived
even if they are signed up at the last minute.

There is a deadline in order to participate in a drawing that we are having:
Those users that submit their abstracts 2 months in advance (Friday August 28,
1992), will be eligible for a drawing in which 15 will be picked for free
upgrades to a luxurious suite at the Marriott.  We have also dropped the
requirement to have copies of the presentation in by one month in advance.
As long as the session chair, myself or Paul Bompastore receive your abstract

I don't know about SGI machines specifically, but in the UNIX system I have
there is a "-A" option to "ld" (the loader).  This allows you to specify
a pair of the form alias=symbol, causing all references to "alias" to be
resolved by "symbol".  

I this this might be the capability you are looking for.  Check the
