I was very impressed that the NiCad battery in the M10 didn't leaked and held it's charge fine over days (4.10V when freshly charged, dropped down to 3.78V in 2 days).
Another thing about the M10 i don't understand is how it detects what keyboard matrix to use, the ROM is the same as the VirtualT one and i found out that does have data for multiple keyboard layouts. I even programmed BASIC+ML tool that shows me which key is pressed on matrix directly and after looking into it i realized that the PCB is the same as the QWERTY KB (of the schematic) but how it decides which one to use is beyond me.

I hope i get another M10 so i can fix it.

I also tested my spare chips in the M100, 51 of 52 8085 CPUs were working as well 3x 8155 and the spare ceramic 6402 (UART) i had. It's cool that both computers are thick enough to allow sockets on pretty much all chips. I somehow expected that obscure 80C85 i had to fail, it's made by a company called CALMOS.

Well, it's bitmap like display and the little amount of memory doesn't allow astounding games. But there are some for it.
But yes, i might do some more BASIC stuff. You can see that i wrote something that plots a sinewave on the screen by using the LINE command and wraps around the screen endlessly.
Also the keyboard is very good, i don't know how it compares the legendary IBM Model M but typing on that one is fun compared to every modern keyboard i used.
