Still a question of luck whether FileMaven will run, but on the other hand, he asked on the FreeDOS list so he must be planning to use DOS :-p. Next problem is that his floppy drives are almost broken? Maybe the search for a solution then should start with the question how you can get tools to the COCO (Tandy Color Computer) and if you cannot, which compilers are already on it, so you could write a minimal file send tool there. Even basic might do (Hmmm if someone needs it, I once made such a tool for myself to communicate with a Casio pocket computer, something with BASIC and a Z80 or similar...). Eric PS: Afair, FreeDOS man Brad wrote a sort of BIOS for his Tandy or Sanyo or similar "ancient PC which only has a boot loader but no full BIOS". That way he can use it not only with the pre-installed modified MS DOS with built-in BIOS but also with a minimally modified FreeDOS kernel :-) (Modified because the memory layout / graphics differ...) PPS: Which solutions do YOU suggest, Tom? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
