Thanks Ken! I've reset everything on the wired end (including replugging the USB device to get a nice clean slate) and cold reset again just to see where things lie. Cold reset then: Plain TSDOS rom: works as expected Switch to NEWDOS: hang at the DISK banner CALL63013,1,1: same story Switch back to vanilla ROM: works as expected
There's definitely something somewhere in my setup that NEWDOS doesn't like (although it worked once!) but I'm not clear what it is at this point. > On Mar 31, 2020, at 1:39 PM, Ken Pettit <petti...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Joshua, > > Well, a cold reset will fix any issue with the M100 side of the equation. > NEWDOS has no way of saving contextual information through a cold boot.
