Even turned the Option-ROM socket, into a EPROM reader, to duplicate data from 27256 – down EPROMs, as well modified a MBASIC 8080 disassembler program, to even go as far as dump the entire internal ROM (by adding the two 8085 specific op-codes, and adding a little 12-byte machine code program to read-in 3 bytes from the ROM, to the RAM page, then display them to the LCD (I have a whole loose-leaf binder, with the entire 32K of ROM disassembled. (drawback, it would make loading/saving programs fail, because the CPU clock speed was far off the specs.) I also used to connect a 567 tone decoder chip, through the Barcode reader slot, and monitor the data-in pin from the socket, to either become a remote control, or using a basic program, decode On/Off signals to convert CW (Morse Code) to written text. I had a 6.2Mhz crystal connected via a switch, in parallel with the 4Mhz CPU crystal, which allowed me to overclock the 80C85 a wee bit faster. I used to push my Model 100 a little bit further. You can there login with the model 100 telcom, us the linux command line with the cat command to upload and download data while controlling the session from the model 100. You can set up a shell account fo the 100, and add the line This code was lifted from the ufo.ti file, part of the curses terminfo data files maintain by Eric S Raymond This will create entries in the ncurses database for the TRS80 CoCo, models 100,200,600, and model 1 Where filename is the name of the text file you just created.

It is very simple to use tese in a shell account on linux. I have a couple of 100s, a 102, and a 200 around here somewhere. There’s decent documentation online (helped when I was given a unit to check out since I had forgotten the various commands to set up the RS-232 port) and even a bunch of Model 100 games at one of the fan websites.

You do not need to wire your own cable, a junk box 9 to 25 pin serial cable plus a modem eliminator will do the job. Hooking up the Model 100 to a computer is trivial, since it’s got a standard 25 pin RS-232 connector in addition to the modem.
#TRS 80 SERIAL TERMINAL PROGRAM PORTABLE#
Ham radio operators love them for portable packet radio operation and still use them today. A slow modem is perfectly adequate for a 15 inch story. Reporters loved them because of their weight (far less than a laptop computer), keyboard, and display. That made it incredibly useful whenever you needed to take notes in the field or as a terminal.

What made the Model 100 special was its full size keyboard and large characters. In fact it was made by a different company.
#TRS 80 SERIAL TERMINAL PROGRAM SOFTWARE#
It had basically nothing in common with the normal TRS-80s (no software or compatibility) and was only a TRS-80 in name. That the TRS-80 Model 100 is still around and functional is not news, hardly. Posted in classic hacks Tagged basic, minicom, model 100, null modem, trs-80 Post navigation Once everything is in place you’ll be able to transfer BASIC programs from your computer to the Model 100. It sounds like it should be no problem to use a USB-serial converter if you don’t have a serial port. He’s got a pin-out for the cable on the second page of his guide. does this using a DB-25 connector for the Model 100 side, and a DB-9 connector for the serial port on the Linux box. With software in place you’ll need to make your own cable.
It is configured to communicate at 300 baud 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity bit, and one stop bit). In this example a Linux box is used with the program Minicom. This could have been a much more involved process, but since the Model 100’s modem uses common communications standards it’s really just a matter of hooking it up and choosing the right COM port settings on a computer. wanted to give it a try but had to do some work to get the Model 100 to communicate with modern hardware. The Model 100 boasted some nice features, one of which was a 300 baud modem allowing you to transfer data onto the device. But we’ve heard that the decades-old hardware is built like a tank so if you search around you can probably get your hands on a working unit. We’d guess that you don’t have a TRS-80 Model 100 computer sitting around.
