I had forgotten about this. TS_DOS provides a means to load and run .CO directly. Kurt sent an earlier email about how to load the CHESS.CO and CHESSX.CO binaries that are here: http://www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=Steve%20Adolph/Romulus%20chess Here's the key part: With TS-DOS running in rom and DOS active, I go to BASIC and try to run it from the virtual TPDD device. RUNM "0:CHESSX.CO" What I get is the following Top: 42312 End: 56000 Exe: 42312 ?OM Error The Error means that you have an out of memory problem. BASIC can't run the program until you clear the space for it to run. So I do the following Clear 0, 42312 RUNM "0:CHESS.CO" On Sat, Jan 7, 2023 at 10:06 AM Stephen Adolph <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all you T200 REX# owners! > > Attached is a couple of RAM images that contain the ROMULUS Chess > program!
