Hey I just got an idea.. (ouch) --- could one arrange a modem attached to a portable disk drive? Now swap out the drive for a computer running some modified portable disk drive emulation... --Now-- swap out both of the modems for raspberry PI like machines communicating over the internet.

All of this talk about loading a DOS client got be thinking about the RAM versions of TS-DOS. The .CO files for 100/200/NEC are readily available. But I have been having trouble locating the TSLOAD program and what i think is the Basic code that loads it. Based on the documentation, an IPL.BA program is created with a one liner as follows.10 RUN "COM: 98N1E" or 10RUN "COM: 98N1ENN" for the 200. Then the disk drive is turned on (TPDD-2) and I assume TSLOAD is transfered. But that would indicate to me that the disk drive is sending over some Basic code to run rather than machine language. And that Basic code in turn loads the ram version of TS-DOS. Or perhaps it just loads TSLOAD.CO which in turn loads DOSXXX.CO. Whichever the case, does anyone have that initial Basic code? I was thinking about adding the ability to simulate that in mComm. Kurt
