Here you go. It worked. Except note all the caveats at the top of the text file.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bys6eLbSbYyhOW5UOWhlcTRiQXc But it worked. I did a hard reset on a 102, and restored the tback image that had dvidos and diskbasic installed, preventing any possibility of the DVI itself re-installing them, and the dvi commands in basic worked. So you can restore this image onto some other 102 (possibly also a 100) and what you have is the same as if you had a dvi and it installed dos and disk basic the normal way. The caveats being this is a full ram image of my 102, not a nice portable system-agnostic installer or program. My 102 happens to * be a 102, not a 100 * be running a main system rom from the REX wiki page with REX and Y2K modifications * have 32K installed You probably can only restore this onto another machine with 32k installed. You might possibly only be able to install this on a 102 and noyt a 100. 100 and 102 are so similar in hardware that it's possible to run a 102 rom on a 100 hardware, but that doesn't guarantee that a ram image from a running 102 would actually run without any errors on a 100 main rom. The rex and y2k hacks probably have no adverse effects, but who knows, it's a difference from a stock machine and so it could possibly matter, or at least, you have to be told about it. All my 100's are running that same 102 rom, so I can't make a model 100 image right now. Even if I used one of my 100's , the ram image would just be the same as this 102 image, and might not work on anyone else's 100. I do have the means to put a stock rom back in a 100, and I do have the means to do this on a 200, so I may do those too sooner or later. -- bkw On Mon, Feb 26, 2018 at 6:37 PM, Brian White <[email protected]> wrote: > I could do that sure.
