Kurt,
I know this is a stupid question. Where is my “default TPDD folder” under
VT1_7? I do not see any folder named TPDD. When using the File option “Load
file from HD”, the directory that opens is in VT1_6 showing my folders, but
none indicating TPDD. Please be patient with my ignorance here. I am
struggling with this as the documentation for guys like me is sparse.
Thank you,
Bob

Bob,
Sorry for the late reply. Virtual-T installs 4.8. But if you download the 4.9
update from here:
bitchin100.com/wiki/images/8/8f/R49_T200_236_rebuild.zip
You can upgrade it to 4.9.
I took all three files and put them in my default TPDD folder. Then loaded
rf249.co. From BASIC I cleared enough ram so than I could do a RUNM "RF249.CO"
and then it upgraded Virtual-T to REX 4.9. That's the only way I know of to
upgrade Virtual-T.
I could send you the rex_flash.bin file from my machine if the upgrade doesn't
work for you.

Thanks, Kurt. I have tried that but I keep getting REX 4.8 which I had
previously installed. Is there a different rex_flash.bin file for 4.9? If
so, where might it be obtained?

Bob,
I just did a setup of virtual-T with REX to see if I remembered the steps.
Here is how I did it.
1) Go to memory options
2) Select REX
3) Click the Create Default Flash button
4) Clock OK
5) Go to BASIC and type CALL 61167,2
That should start the virtual REX manager.

Hope that helps.

Hello all. I have struggled to configure VT for REX 4.9. I understand REXMGR
and the OptROM.BX files, but I can’t seem to figure out which files to have and
in which folders they should reside for the REX 4.9 version (via REXMGR) to
appear. I would like to try again; I use the T200 emulation most of the time.
My searches for installation instructions have not been successful, but of
course, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Where might I find these instructions?
Thank you!
Bob
