In this video we take a look at the second of a pair of TRS-80 Model 100s that a friend sent me to repair. Like most M100s this one is in need of a new set of caps and we also need to replace the option ROM socket too. While trying out the M100 test harness we discover a serial port failure and before we can even start to fix that part of the reset circuit dies.

Do we get it fixed? Well, the mission is mostly a success though the SuperROM is no so super anymore. Join in for the adventure.
