Well I got my Portable 100's sitting next to me so lets see what they got!

Since you didn't say what type of acquisition I will assume that you wanted
to record readings of devices and maybe control them using logic routines in
the Tandy 100/102.

Below is a list of articles and ads with summaries (no order and not most
current, just a random sampling):

November 1988 - "Real Cheap Time Input/Output!" by Ken Osborn
	      - How to take air flow measurements directly from a anemometer.
                for around $10.

November 1988 - AD - "Data Acquisition System"
		   - 8 digital input lines & 8 output lines, plus much more.
		   - Programming examples and instructions.
		   - Rural Engineering Inc.
		     Route 14, Box 113F
		     So. Royalton, VT  05068
		     (802) 763-8367
February 1989 - "The Model 102 Outstanding in its Field" by John Jacobsen
	      - Agripro and Jacobsen Holz use 102's to collect data for
		agricultural research.

and much much more.

I would love to provide you with more information, but I have a limited amount
of time.  I hope this helps!
