        TS-DOS, available from Club 100, can be either disk or ROM based.
Desklink, available on the Club 100 web site as 'DL-ARC.EXE', also includes
limited RAM based versions that can be transferred to the 100/102 using a
null modem cable. The Desklink archive is what I use to turn my 486 laptop
or Mac clone into a fileserver for my Model 102. Once you use Desklink to
transfer the RAM-based TS-DOS loader into the 100/102, you should then be
able to access the portable disk drive.
