DOSBOX makes it easy to run the "old" DOS programs i.e. TEENY, DeskLink even on PC with Windows 10 32/64bit. Serial communication even via a USB-serial adapter (I run a Prolific PL-2303) with my T-Models (100, 102, 200) runs well w/o any issues. It´s well documented and configuration is not difficult.

I use it almost exclusively with dlplus myself. the dlplus package actually includes teeny and a teeny-installer. It's actually fairly convenient once you've done it once or twice so you don't actually have to read and think about all the prompts.

This means I can now recover from a cold reset without having to fetch the disk drive and cable. I played around with it a bit today and noticed one thing: the TSLOAD.CO it creates works fine but is one byte oversize because the value for P2 is too large by one. With that fixed, the file is written out as the right size, and you don't need to subtract one from P2 in the FOR loop in line 50 anymore: 50 A=P1:FORI=0TOP2:READB:POKEA+I,B:NEXT 100 DATA 56400,525,56400 > I would have to create and injector for the Android version of mComm to Oh please oh please oh please :) > make this work.

I have to admit that I had completely failed to notice how much space was being occupied when I was originally playing around with bootstrapping from the TPDD2. I had always assumed that having TSLOAD.CO in RAM rather than the full DOS100.CO was meant to save memory space by loading DOS100.CO from disk every time, but it seems like TSLOAD.CO reserves space for DOS100.CO to temporarily load from disk (whereas launching from something like UR-2 prompts you to temporarily change HIMEM at load-time). Checking it again by wiping my m100 today, I see I lose 7092 bytes after bootstrapping TSLOAD.CO from the original disk, which is the size of the executable plus 6560 bytes. It seems like it would be better if there were a way to directly bootstrap DOSxxx.CO into a blank model T which only needs 5700-ish bytes and then you have everything you need on-board. You're right, this does kind of stink from a memory usage point of view, but if you want to run TS-DOS and you don't have a ROM to launch it from, you don't have many choices... unless TEENY has subdirectory support (ie. working with mComm). I thought it only understood the actual TPDD/2 drives. > I did manage to find TSLOAD for the 200 but I will have to convert that > later. I'm expecting a 200 in the mail (someday), so that'd be super when you get a chance as I only have the TS-DOS floppy for the 100. Not sure if the Tandy Utility Disk can load FLOPPY onto a T200 or not. jim __________ Ende Originalnachricht __________________________________
