Take the laptop and load the file from the floppy into it. Upload it
to the p.c. through the serial port with a null modem cable. I do this
with my model 100 all the time. I use Procomm on the p.c. with the 
transfer mode as ASCII. It allows for changing the CR to CR/LF. The
Tandy uses only a Carriage Return. Flow control is Xon/Xoff so the
cable only needs pins 2-3, 3-2, 7-7. Hope this helps.
