The model 100 is extremely rare. It was only on the market for s short time
and then was updated to the 101 which was EML's most succesful model.
Unfortunately it's very difficult to come by any useful information about
the 100. I only recently managed to get a picture of one  (it's in the
photo archive for anyone curious).  The image isn't perfectly sharp but you
can see that it very closely resembles the 101 in control layout.  The only
obvious difference is that there is no control knob on the 100 where the
sampler control is on a 101. That probably means it doesn't have a
sampler...probably...but you would know better than me. If you like, you
could send me some detailed photos of the control planel and I might be
able to deduce a bit more. More photos of a 100 for the archive would be
great.

It's a pretty safe bet that the 100 operates basically the same as a 101but
is probably missing  1 or more features that they added to the 101.  I
don't think it has anything unique that the 101 doesn't have... but you'd
really have to set the two models up side by side to be sure. Mark Vail's
book mentions that the  VCO's on the100 are able to generate interesting
accurate waveforms from an "engineering" standpoint but  the 101 is  better
geared for generating musically interesting sounds.

Regardless of that, I have no doubt the 100 would be a lot of fun to mess
around with, as is the 101.

I wish I could offer you some more info leads  but there just isn't much
around.

If anyone else  would like to add more or can suggest a good
source...please step up and help out!

Thanks!
