I was thinking about that with this Teensy. It has an rtc built-in, so it would seem to be trivial to have the tpdd-server code recognize a magic not-real filename and supply dynamic data as though it were file contents. >From the M100 you just open a special file name and read the the the date, time and day values out of it. No special commands, just assume that there is a dos of any sort already installed and just try to access the virtual filename.
I think there are filenames that are "legal" to most dos's as in, the dos lets you supply the name as a value to commands, that aren't actually "legal" on the M100, IE such a file would never, could never, exist since it's not .ba, .co, .do etc. Like how the original tpdd util disk has a file with a .sy extension. So there should be no problem with thinking up a magic filename that is guaranteed never to conflict with any legitimate user file. You could do all kinds of commands that way. -- bkw On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 5:38 PM John R.
