TRS-80 Model 100 Beginners guide. I got a TRS-80 Model 100, now what?

Video sponsor: PCBWay: $5 for 2 layer PCBs with 24hr turnaround at https://pcbway.com/g/m3hn11 This video is a sort of quick start for those just getting a TRS-80 Model 100, 102 or Olivetti M10. I have done repairs videos on these machines but not a ‘getting started’ type of video. In this video we’ll try to cover the questions you might have when you get your first M100, T102, or Olivetti M10 which is a sexy Italian cousin of the M100. In a future video we’ll cover the M200 in a similar manner. We’ll cover things in general and I’ll include links to other videos where I do specific repairs. Buckle up. Let’s get started. Timeline: 00:00 – Welcome 02:11 – Visual inspection 04:55 – First power up 09:17 – Teardown and preventative maintenance 17:42 – Testing, keyboard, Serial port and burn in 24:03 – Modern mass storage options 30:21 – Wrap up.
