CHIPMU.LU [73717,2674] 26-Apr-87 15159 LAPTOP USER magazine readers rate the Holmes/PCSG Chipmunk disk drive, especially compared to other drives from Tandy and PIC. Reproduced here by permission. Copyright 1987, Shoestring Publications, Inc. CHP200.REV [70136,1007] 28-Jul-86 7150 The Chipmunk for the M200 is now available from PCSG. While a marvel of technology, it has several bugs and shortcomings the rospective buyer should know about -- including the fact that it is incompatible with the M200 internal modem. Read this review and decide if it's for you. DATMAN.REV [71706,334] 27-Jan-86 2740 Review of the DCM Data Manager program marketed through Tandy. This program has severe limitations which are not described in the manual, if you are thinking about buying the program, read this review first. DP100.REV [75675,302] 26-Sep-86 11575 DP100.REV is a comprehensive review of Disk Power 100, a DOS for the Tandy Portable Disk Drive. It includes loading, program execution, BASIC/TEXT extensions, special considerations and my overall conclusion regarding the software. ESSENTIAL: See Addendum included DP2.REV [73720,316] 25-Jan-88 3537 A review of a new product from Ultrasoft Innovations.

DRIVE.REV [72346,1020] 28-Oct-85 7630 A review of the new Tandy Portable Disk Drive. In two words: Buy It! DRIVE2.REV [70136,1007] 14-Feb-87 5145 New wine in old cask? The new 200K Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2 isn't a quantum leap over the old Tandy Disk Drive. It offers twice the density of - - and considerable compatibility with -- the first version introduced in October 1985. However, the new FLOPPY.CO is still 4405 bytes, and lacks all the capability of 3-party DOSes. And even though it operates at 19600 baud, it's no speed demon. Worth buying? Yes? Worth trading up? Depends on your needs. DSKPWR.REV [76656,1060] 05-Aug-86 6975 Review of Disk Power, a DOS for the Tandy Portable Disk Drive DVIM.REV [70466,1511] 03-Jun-84 12095 Detailed instructions and comments on Tandy's Disk/Video Interface, derived from experience of the author Maddi Durholz EP44.REV [75745,1575] 07-Jul-84 2695 Review of the Brother EP-44 portable electronic thermal printer FUTIL.REV [71266,125] 20-Oct-85 2480 A review of FUTIL.BA, a utility for the Model 100 from Acroatix -- which is included when you buy TMPC.

ISROM.REV [73106,1237] 21-Aug-85 5455 A preliminary review of Tandy's new ROM "Interactive Solutions", Cat No.26-3844. It is a combined Data Base, Spreadsheet and Word Processor. LAPDOS.REV [71266,125] 11-Sep-86 4690 One user's early impressions of LAPDOS, an IBM (or compatible) program which operates the Tandy Portable Disk Drive as a PC peripheral. This eases Laptop <-> PC file exchange, and allows back-up of your TDD disks on PC disks. LCDRAW.REV [72300,3645] 19-Dec-87 4210 Review of "LCdraw" which is a powerful new text AND graphics program for the M100/102 computers. With this program the user can custom design a logo for a document or create a screen-size element for a larger mosaic. The beauty of it is that it is both easy to use and fun. You will be amazed at the interesting designs that you can create. Priced at about $50, it is a real value!

Reprinted from review published in Boston Lap Computer User Group Newsletter (Member Boston Computer Society). Article written by larry gensch, with some input from Bill Gerber. Seven pages ... probably just a bit too long for a Model 100 (sorry!). POWR-D.REV [75725,1134] 20-Jan-86 6905 Review of Powr-Disk from Acroatix, which is an extension of M100 BASIC which permits file transfer and access with the Tandy Portable Disk Drive. Everything I say here should also apply to the T200 version. To quote Jim Irwin: Buy It!

SAFE.REV [70136,1007] 17-Aug-87 3891 The SAFE, from PG Designs, is the first practical multi-ROM adapter capable of routinely switching ROMs electronically. It's light, simple-to-use, and not very expensive...and if you have a Tandy 200 and NODE 256K Ramdisk, the combo is especially valuable. Works with M100, M102 and NEC 8201 also -- holds 8 ROMs, including the new "daisy-chain" ROMs like Sardine+. SARDIN.LU [73717,2674] 26-Apr-87 16529 LAPTOP USER magazine review of the ROM version of Traveling Software's Sardine spelling checker. Reproduced here by permission.

SUPERA.REV [75775,1430] 02-Sep-85 10380 Review of Micro Demon's SUPERA program, reflecting new features in Version 2.

TC1200.REV [70136,1007] 07-Aug-86 1775 This neat little modem has been talked about for a long time, but never reviewed -- and it's a beauty! Just plug it on the back of your computer, and go 1200 baud. The size of a pack of cigarets, 6.5 oz including batteries, and a high but reasonable $279 -- worth the savings in online time, if you do a lot of uploading. TCODE.REV [75655,1056] 11-Feb-87 5164 Review of Tandycode, a program written for Tandy by PCSG (Dallas). It compares Tandycode with enhanced '3-of-9' code used by PCM Magazine for program listings. Our M100/102/200 User Group encourages you to write to Lonnie Falk, Editor and Publisher, PCM, P.O. Box 385, Prospect, KY 40059 and encourage him to upgrade to Tandycode so that BA and CO programs will be possible without conversions!

WRIROM.REV [71666,1175] 22-Jul-85 11310 An updated review of the PCSG Write ROM chip Version 1.3 which comes with an upgraded, tab-indexed 200-page manual with "Quick Reference" guides. Use with DVI is limited, but possible. Use with Chipmunk not tested. A superior product with good support. WROM1.REV [71256,1560] 17-Jun-85 10100 Short critique of Version 1.0 of WRITE ROM from PCSG. It by no means covers everything but does touch on some areas where I feel WRITE ROM has problems.
