Mike,
I'm using the blank space in TWord once the ROM dictionary is removed. I have
not tried NewDos since all the code would need to be relocated. I used version
4 of TS-DOS and then relocated enough bytes so I wouldn't have to modify
TWord/Sardine.While I have a somewhat working version right now, the more I
play with it the more issues I see. TS-DOS likes to reset itself quite a bit
and when it does the code takes me back to TWord. Eventually I think I can get
it working but it doesn't look like it will be as easy as I initially thought
it would be. Relocating NewDOS may be much easier.

Sounds like a worthy project; I always wondered what you could put into the

Ken,
I had to move more than 36 bytes but in the end I got it working. Pressing F7
from the TWord file menu goes to the optrom code rather than trying to load the
RAM version. The only issue I need to still iron out is pressing F8 from TS-DOS
goes back to the menu rather than going back to TWord. That shouldn't be too
hard to find.
Thanks again for the help.

Since they overlap by only 36 bytes, one option is to simply figure out
what is in that overlapping region and relocate just that code, then patch any
references to addresses in that range.

Thanks for the update Ken,
One question about the ROM versions of NewDos. I noticed on the versions you
have in your memfiles area that the code has been relocated to a lower portion
of the ROM. How difficult is it to relocate optrom code to a new location? The
original versions started at 3535h.
I ask because I have been working on merging TWord/Sardine with TS-DOS as one
ROM image (Excluding the internal dictionary). I've found the location of the
F7 call from the TWord main menu (1C28) and was planning to call TS-DOS from
there but 3535h is about 36 bytes too low to work.

Almost.
Bob Pigford did some work on getting the NEWDOS assembly code ported over with
T200 System ROM addresses and got it about 90-95% there I would guess. But
additional work is still needed to get it to a working state.

Does NewDOS exist for the 200?
