Maybe I'm confused by the instructions on the github page for Baldur's Gate. There, it says:
1. Enter TS-DOS and press F5 to enable DOS-ON mode 2. Exit to MENU 3. Enter BASIC and run CLEAR 256, 43776 4. Run LOADM "0:bg31.co" 5. When it's done loading, run CALL 43776 So I understand with the TPDD installed I have to get TS-DOS installed. So I have to Save it to the M100. In this case it is TS-DOS.BA. With it installed, I can then access the TPDD and copy over BG31.CO. Also with it installed I can make sure DOS-ON mode is enabled. I'm guessing there's something I'm doing that I don't need to do. Like SAVE TS-DOS. Somehow I can just run it? I do recall something called TEENY. I'll have to review that. Curtis Vaughan On Sat, Dec 28, 2024 at 4:07 PM John R.
