I had an Olivetti M10, which was the same as the tandy model 100 except for
the fact that the ROM was byte-shifted two words up (my friend has a model
100 and we disassembled and compared the ROMs). as a result any of the
software for the model 100 wouldn't run unless I rewrote the system calls
to the correct addresses. I just about memorized the system call locations
(there was a great book that documented the ROM, don't remember the title)
and wrote a lot of BASIC code to PEEK and POKE code patches. It had the
same processor (8085A) that we were learning asm programming on.
