Josh,
I posted TSLOAD.DO a couple days ago. It's a text file that can be loaded into
BASIC and when run, it will load DOS100.CO from any TPDD emulator (LaddieAlpha,
mComm, DeskLink, NADSBox). I'm in the process of adding the capability to mComm
to load TS-DOS directly but I'm not finished yet. I don't have the TSLOAD.DO
file with me right now but if you check the archives from a day or two ago you
will see it.

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
