TSLOAD.100 and TSLOAD.200 are now included with github.com/bkw777/dlplus
That tsload.co from the Paul Globman collection page was indeed just the
normal tsload for 200 not something special for XOS-C.
I already had the "magic" DOSxxx.CO files in there and working for UR2,
and TSLOAD does the same thing as UR2, so now you can have a bare bones
100 or 200 with no REX or anything, bootstrap TSLOAD and immediately use
it to run TS-DOS without having to install TS-DOS.
You install TSLOAD once with
$ dl -vb TSLOAD.100
(or TSLOAD.200)
Then after that you just run TSLOAD any time you want, as if it were
TS-DOS. Each time you run it, it actually pulls DOS100.CO from the disk
on the fly and discards it on exit.
I don't suppose anyone has the NEC version?
Also added a co2ba bash script that can read a .co file and output a
loader.do file. It's compatible with any of the machines.
It takes a commandline option to say what you want the loader to do with
the binary once it's loaded, execute it or save it as a .co file, and
that same option is how you handle NEC vs any of the others.
This was used to generate TSLOAD.100 and .200

I can't find a copy of tsload on-line anywhere unfortunately.
I ran into this same rarity problem and Kurt came to my rescue. Because
it was such a pain to lay my hands on I stuck it in my S3 bucket:

As far as I'm concerned, please do feel free to fold it into the far
less obscure dlplus as a bootstrappable binary blob, et al.
