 Club 100
Rick

Club 100 offers most everything you could possibly ever want for add-ons, programming, information and support.

"There is nothing fancy about ordering Model "T" items from Club 100. I've helped fellow Model T users online since 1983 via the Club 100 BBS and phone. I'm the guy who processes all the orders and sweeps the floors. The buck stops here, briefly ... then I pay the bills and give the rest to my wife. So order with confidence and let's keep her happy. (grin)." __Rick Hanson, Proprietor, Club 100

To order: Either use our secure online order form or simply make a list of the items you want and snail mail your list, along with a check, money order (made payable to Club 100, not me!) or credit card info & signature. And if you are using a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) you have the option of using our on-line order form, or e-mailing your order to myself at: Rick@Club100.org. And if you really want to speak to a real person, call me at 925-932-8956.

Official PayPal Seal Yes. You may purchase Club 100 products via PAYPAL but not via a shopping cart. Use the Online Order Form to order your items but leave out your credit card info. In the comments box, tell me you wish to pay via Paypal. I will total your order, add shipping and get back to you with a total amount. Use that total amount at Paypal. When you do, I will receive an email statement and complete your order. My Paypal account is under either rick@club100.org or zoomie@zoomie.com.

TRANSFER FILES BETWEEN
a MODEL "T" COMPUTER and a PC or Mac
...the NADSBox solution

 The Hot Setup: The #1 use of a Model 100/102/200/WP-2/8201 today is using it for remote data collection, then transferring the files to a PC. The ABSOLUTE EASIEST WAY to do this is with a New Age Digital Storage Box (NADSBox).

Two reasons to own a NADSBox: 1) Portable mass storage to a media card, and 2) Media card is readable by a PC or Mac card reader, i.e., easy file transfers. Yeah that's it but oh baby is that ... fantastic!!

Let me say something really important in support of our Model 100s, 102s, 200s, WP-2s and NEC 8201a/8300s. The Model 100 came to us via Bill Gates and Tandy / Radio Shack in March 1983. It's been over 25 years and we are still here. WOW! And over all this time, the top wish list items have been portable mass storage and file transfers. Ken Pettit's NADSBox does both very well. NADSBox "is" the #1 tool that takes Model "T" computing into the 3rd decade and beyond. Every serious Model "T"er needs a NADSBox. Why? It works, it's cool and we need to stand up and support Ken. Let me also add that in the wings is REX by Steve Adolph. REX and NADSBox cross-support each other, i.e., you will be blown away by the team work. $195.00

REX

REX is a 1MB flash card that plugs into the option ROM socket on the laptop. It supports access to multiple Option ROM software products, and also allows storage and management of mulitple RAM images. $60.00

The OLD WAY to transfer files between computers is to use DeskLink, a CompLink Cable, and TS-DOS on ROM. To be honest, you might already have an acceptable null-modem cable or adapter, and a Model "T" DOS and only need DeskLink. But if you don't, we have what you need.

NOTE: There is a learning curve to cable-transfers ... geeks do well ... you might not ... see NADSBox for the rest of us.

DeskLink and TEENY (FREE) ReadMe1st | ReadMe2nd | DL-ARC.EXE 11-Mar-05 | Screen Shot
To download the dl-arc.exe file, right click your mouse, select "Save Target As..." and direct the file to a folder you previously created called "root", i.e., c:\root, or save to a diskette. This is an archive file that when run will dump out all its files.
Download this self deARCing program, place it in a sub-directory named C:\ROOT, of your PC and run it. Once deARCed, you have just what you need. You have "tpdd emmulator" software called DeskLink that allows you direct access to your PC drives from any "Master" software in your 100, 102, 200 or NEC PC8201A. The Master can be a DOS or DOS loader in your laptop that ordinarily operates with a directly connected TPDD or TPDD2 as its slave. It can be URII, Sardine, or TS-DOS on ROM. You also have TEENY.EXE so you can get going quickly. TEENY.EXE injects a simple Master, named TEENY.CO, into Tandy laptop Models 100, 102 and 200. And you have the documentation for TEENY and DeskLink. Note: THE VERY BEST Master to use with DeskLink is TS-DOS on ROM.

CompLink Cable Cable Diagrams
A full-null cable for Model T to DOS connection. Our cables cross DSR/DTR and RTS/CTS lines as well as send/receive. This is called "Full Null". CompLink Cables are constructed with gold-plated terminals (not just gold washed) and use a ThinHood(R) connector on the Model T end. $15.00.

Direct drive access from BASIC and TEXT. Package includes ROM, installation, and docs. Note1: Please state Model 100/102, Model 200, or NEC when ordering. Note2: Cold-start recover routine built-in to the TS-DOS ROM for the 100/102 and 200. $35.00 ... docs available via download, only.

FULLY RECONDITIONED/WARRANTED
MODEL 102, 100, 200 COMPUTERS
TPDDs and TPDD2s

Want a Model 102, 100 or 200? Concerned about getting a lemon from a private party or ebay? Need several? No problem! Club 100 offers fully reconditioned Model 102s, 100s and 200s, and TPDD and TPDD2 disk drives, warranted for 90 days from purchase. Each unit is completely disassembled, serviced, cleaned, reassembled and application tested before sale. See below for models available.

Model "T" Computers ... Club 100 is well known for its support, quality and attention to details. All Model "T" computers purchased from Club 100 have been fully tested, cleaned and retested, and carry a 90 day full money back or replacement warranty. My computers have to be the best. I serve picky customers who use our computers in the most remote place such as the middle of the ocean doing research or as space satellite control units. In these cases, the computer must work.

A word about the three grades of computers I offer:
There is a big difference between a "Pristine" a "Like-New" and a "Shop-Grade" computer. These are my terms. A "Pristine" unit has, for the most part, never been used or used so little that there are no signs of ware. A "Like-New" unit has been used but looks like it has not unless you look closely. For the most part, a "Like-New" unit appears to be unused. A "Shop-Grade" is obviously used. It shows ware, and although the unit is cleaned, it does not look great. My "Shop-Grade" units are intended to be out of sight, in use in a shop or in a machine room.

Model 102s
Pristine 32K (a few in stock): never used - $350
Like-New 32K (several in stock): excellent condition - $250
Shop Grade 24K (some in stock): excellent on the inside - outside worn but clean - $150

Repair and Reconditioning Servcice for
Model 102, 100 and 200 Computers
TPDD and TPDD2 Disk Drives

Need your Model "T" repaired? I repair and recondition Model 100, 102 and 200 computers for individuals and companies, such as newspapers, research firms and manufacturing and sales organizations. Reasonable rates. Excellent results. Email Rick@Club100.org for details.

Since I have R&Red a lot of Model "T" computers I can tell you at most all units take 1 to 2 hours and only a very few take 3 hours. My bench rate is $50/hour, and parts are included, so this is a bargin. Also, every unit goes through a 24 hour test and comes with a 90 day warranty from myself.

I also R&R the Tandy Portable Disk Drive (TPDD) and the Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2 (TPDD2). That cost is a flat rate of $50. Most all drives take 1 hour to R&R.

Sending equipment for R&Ring?
Packing correctly is the key. If you are sending a 100/100/200 or a TPDD or TPDD2 in for R&R, wrap it in bubble and pack it in a box that is 2 inches larger in all directions. Fill the void with packing peanuts, waded paper or other such "flexible" filler. Absolutely include your information and a list of problems, and it is always a good idea to email, call in a heads-up that something is coming my way ... DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING! ... and protect yourself with shipping insurance. Here are my addresses used for shipping, depending on the shipper you use:

• For US Mail shipping: P.O. Box 23438, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
• For UPS/FedEx shipping: 701 Charlton Drive, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
