Hi all, I have just received a Tandy 200 to go with my 100 and 102. It seems functional, but leaves me with an odd question:
I have one of Birt’s Backpack drives, which works perfectly with my 100 and 102, using the TS-DOS loader included on the SD card, and referenced in the Backpack manual. Unfortunately, I don’t have an option ROM with TS-DOS, so I loose 6K or RAM. On the 100/102 that isn’t too bad, but on the 200, it leaves insufficient RAM for the documents I am producing. So, I thought, why not load TS-DOS into one RAM bank, and the documents in another? Except that I don’t see where TS-DOS can load a file, while it’s running from (say) Bank #2 on the 200, and save the file in Bank #1. Or, save a file from Bank #1 to the Backpack, while it’s running from Bank #2. Is this even possible, or do I need a TS-DOS option ROM? I do have a REX#, but it doesn’t seem to be functional in the 200. I was hoping to get one of Birt’s Dial-A-ROMS, but they don’t seem to be available at present. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy
