Ah, OK, and thanks for your reply, Ken; that's what I thought.
I guess at this point when we're talking about 'ROM' versions of TS-DOS we're
usually actually talking about (E)EPROMS, even back when Rick was selling them
(although I think his were OTP versions so they might as well be ROMs).
And then there's ExtRAM and XR4; all this nitpicking just to say that,
excellent product that Steve's REX is, it's not the only way to have TS-DOS (or
any option ROM) 'in ROM', as it were...
So yes, like Bill N I'd also be interested in that 'fix' if you get the
chance...
TIA,
m

Hi Mike,
No, nothing specific about REX ... EPROM would also work. But the media in
question was ROM, which cannot be changed (at least not unless it is actually
EPROM, and then only with a UV eraser and device programmer).

Hi Ken,
Why is this fix only available for TS-DOS from REX and not the TS-DOS
(EP)ROM (assuming of course that one has the means to (re)program the EPROM,
which a number of us do)? Are the contents different in some way?

Hi Bill,
TS-DOS has bug in it that causes shift-down to skip all the way to the
last page of files instead of showing the 2nd, 3rd, etc. pages. I discovered
the bug when I disassembled it a few years ago and added a fix for the bug.
This fix would be available if you ran TS-DOS from REX, but not from ROM.
So yes, it is normal, although only becuase of the bug in TS-DOS.

Hey guys, I have a question about TS-DOS on rom coming from a PC.
I have Laddiecon alpha running on my Win7 starter netbook. I get 2
pages of a directory on the ModelT by using Shift Down arrow in disk mode, but
not the entire file list is shown even though a lot of them are .do and .ba
files.
I have quite a few .ba and .do files in the ‘Root’directory, but only
the first 20 files appear.
Is this normal?
