Yo dog, you should totally go be a guest on the SafetyThird Podcast.

In my TRS80 100 schematic transcription (on github) I annotated the relevant resistors mentioned in the bulletin. Soldering required unfortunately. If you want to avoid desoldering the old ones, you can probably get away with parallel soldering 390 Ohm resistors in parallel (on the back of the board). Might be a tad less annoying.

If you end up with one that doesn't work at all, you should gut it and replace it all with modern tech to make a "sleeper" 😁

"Banned in Texas"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🏳‍⚧⚧🏳‍🌈

Maybe a video on learning the needed soldering skills (and salvaging/rigging up the gear for it)!

Brilliant stuff. I really enjoy your channel !!!

I still have my Tandy 200. It needs a new power switch, The 200 was one of the reasons that Radio Shack was in operation as long as it was. It was the first clamshell computer on the market, and Tandy Patented the concept. For the next 17 years, any laptop computer that was sold in a clamshell format, payed a royalty to Tandy to be able to sell that device. It wasn't the only thing they did right, but moving to selling cell phones pretty much killed the stores.

the Olivetti M10 which is a sister to these had a tilting screen which is far better to use.

can I buy one of those model 100's from you?

Noice

In the next video hacking the government satellites with it

You're awefully lucky to have lived that many years and still not know what those little "beans" are.

THis was great! I was very close to getting trs-80 (trash-80) but opted instead for an Atari 400. Love it!

I lugged a Toshiba T1100 through New Zealand in 1989. Like a damned chump :)

Very cool, I still have the NEC PC-8201 version of The Tandy from back when I was a kid, we bought it new. Mine worked last time I turned it on. I do have some of the manuals, do you think they would have what you need?

The trash 80!

HEY! I might have helped build those! 😱😁🤪😝👍👍🇺🇸

You have a great channel...I like gay people!

11:24 the thing probably needs 5A at 5V

My first computer was a used COCO I got for working afternoons at Radio Shack in the fall semester of '85. Rigged up an old portable cassette recorder for mass storage. I had the 4K RAM upgrade.

I have one of the pocket ones, when complaints were nobody needed a computer that fit in a pocket. even a thermal printer, it's like Space 1999 props, (computers reading out paper strips of data)

I think I still have my battery club membership card from RadioShack.

About 15 years ago, I had a business meeting with IT folks at the St. Petersburg (Florida) PD and they had literal STACKS AND STACKS of these that they were finally retiring. I guess they had them in the police cars.

LOL.. I Had one.. (Wait.. !! 😲) That's Mine..! 😉 (Radio Shack TRS-80 "White Computer Cases" Always Turned Tan-Yellow in time so did the CoCo 3 or 4 / TRS-80 Model 4 Same thing. (FYI Bubble memory is a bunch of "Microscopic" Toroid Cores magnetically Charged ) Just like old School Juke-Box's Used to know what Song you Selected... (FYI DB-9 Bar Code Reader..)

My number was 3. That's awesome!

Bubble memory was non-volatile, like core memory. I think it was also power hungry when in use. The chip had to warm up in order to work, and had a built in resistive heater.

Entering BIOS: Alternatively F2 or DEL That's are 2 very interesting "laptops"!

Phone number was #3!?

My first computer was a trs 80 coco. I learned to code in trs color basic. It was the beginning of a long journey of coding.

I have this same exact computer with the bubble memory expansion! I got it in jacksonvillve IL at the steam festival so I wonder if it was something more available in the midwest since I've never seen the bubble memory module in california.

@ 17:58 Now you've done it. Dormant world destroying virus released!! 😳😵‍💫 😉

Gabe says "dingus" = drink

Time stamp 7:50, cool Roach eggs! 🪳🪳🪳🪳

Cap change for long term use.

OMG, ain't seen a TRASH-80 in eons! I played with one of those as a geeky kid.

RIP - cockroach egg purses in the first unit you opened.

7:57 cockroach pods - either American or Brown Banded. The literal bug in the system. :)

Wild, I was just mentioning bubble memory in a conversation with a coworker a couple hours ago.

wow...I had a model 100...used it to takes notes for a IBM 360 assembly class that I shouldn't really have taken. Looking to replace it with NEC Ultralite PC-17-02 to do packet radio goodness

Weird, i also just busted out my model 100

It's very rare to capture capacitors in that stage of their lifecycle! What a find ;)

The struggle of getting into the BIOS is so real! XD

Wished troons were banned here

Thank you for this TRIP down memory lane I remember my dad bringing this home. He was proud of his model 100 computer. I was not allowed to touch it a whole lot but it is the first device I got to see work on the world scale with compuserve and he showed me a few games on there. Regrettedly it got tossed out a couple years back and I'm so wishing it had not been thrown out. It was 1 of 3 vintage computers Thrown out the other 2 was a Texas Instruments 99 a and atari ST520. But thanks again for the trip back to the 80s.

TY for the video

28:33 so basically a standard Linux affair? I don't care if Windows spies on me, at least it works without a million patches.

I think those are cockroach eggs

28:12 try the "Delete" key. failing that, try F11.

He is one of the smartest of our generation

As someone who grew up with typewriters being a thing in libraries and in my home, I love this formfactor for a basic writing computer.
