I am the proud inheritor of a Model 100 TRS-80, which I want to
use as a terminal, note taker, and portable thesis writer.  However, 
the memory on the beast is a little limited.  What I am looking for:

1. Memory expansion.  If anyone has a bank-switching memory they
   would be willing to sell, I will buy it.  I want something that
   fits inside the compartment on the bottom of the TRS-80 and
   gives me a total of 128K or so in multiple spaces.  I would
   espcially like one that has a ROM that allows copying, etc.
   between banks from the function keys.

2. ROMS, especially those with GOOD telecom programs.  A terminal 
   emulator would be really nice.

3. A modem, 2400 baud will be fine, for cheap.  Out there, I know,
   are people who have gone out and bought a 9600 or 19k modem
   and have your old 2400 laying around collecting dust.  I'll
   take it off your hands for you.

4. A modem cable (you know, the one RS wants $20 for.
   I haven't been able to find the connector, it has a strange
   U configuration).

I am not willing to pay a great deal for these.  For (1) I will pay
about $100 plus or minus, depending on the model and ROM
support.  For (3) I will pay 50-100 dollars, depending on the model.
For (4), $5.

This is all ``obsolete'' technology, I know, but good for my purposes.
