Your biggest problem is memory.  Microsoft C 4.0 and 5.0 both run on
a '100, as does Turbo C 1.0 and 1.5; the IBM-specific functions will
NOT work, however.  You'll need lots of memory for both, and lots of
storage for MSC.  (Turbo really requires 2 floppies, MSC requires a
hard disk drive, unless you get _really_ creative)

As for people porting software, Clarkson has quite a few '100s -- every
member of the junior and senior classes owns one (later years have 248s).
If you send me the details, I can pass them on to those who might be
interested, but no guarantees.

As for memory, FBE Associates (?) has a ram upgrade available which seems
to be highly recommended.  Look in Sextant or REMark for them and other
dealers..
