Short question: How do I get DOS on a Tandy 100/102 from scratch? This appears to be a very difficult question to answer. There's some documentation here:
http://www.club100.org/library/doc/tsdos.html but that assumes that you have a TPDD and the DOS disk. I have neither. Here are the pieces I've found thus far: Step 1) Obtain DOS100.CO Issues: I can't actually find this file anywhere. I've found an MP3 version to be played into the cassette port. But I don't have a cassette cable and I'm trying to avoid building one. Step 2) Get DOS100.CO into ram *somehow*. I can't find any serial-based loader. There's TSLOAD.CO, but - again - how do I get *THAT* program into RAM. I supposed I can bootstrap teeny using TEENY.BA, then use that to load TSLOAD.CO? But you can only have 1 CO file loaded, right? This machine is really starting to drive me crazy. Can someone help me sort this out? I have nothing but a M102 with a working serial connection to a PC (win or linux). Thanks! -Josh
