I suspected this might be the problem, which rather impacts on how useful the 
200 might be, given the 19K available total for each bank. Maybe there’s a more 
basic TPDD client that can talk to the Backpack which I can load, and run out 
of one bank only. The manual mentions ’Teeny’ but not how I can bootstrap it. 
Given I only need save and load functions, I’m not in need of anything clever!

I have a REx# for my 100/102 but it doesn’t work on the 200, and doesn’t 
actually behave well on my 100 - when I ‘call63012’ it gives me TS-DOS in the 
menu and not REXMGR. 
And I suspect it’s overkill for my needs if I can find a DIAL-A-ROM, or 
similar. 
I did email Steve asking about availability of a REX#, but got no answer - spam 
filters most likely. So….. Steve?!!

Jeff, you’re a star! Just ordered one. I think that’s exactly what I need for 
the 200. A Rex is cool, and maybe I will consider a REXCPM for it, but in 
practice I really just need TS-DOS (or similar).
