Re: [M100] BackPack - read data from CLI
Jeff, trying to get data from BackPack after sending a "set" via PRINT#1 from BASIC ends always with a 'T'. Do you have a sample code to enter CLI mode and get data via PRINT/INPUT sequence from BASIC? I would like to read 1st "DATE format" set in BackPack for a program to cover all Date format in the M100 family - YY/MM/DD for NECs, MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY pending US or international variant.

When you send four CR (carriage return) to the Backpack it will respond with a symbol followed by CR. ‘C’ CR ‘#’ CR When it times out it sends: ‘T’ CR Jeff Birt From: Georg Käter Sent: Thursday, March 2, 2023 12:24 AM To: m...@bitchin100.com Cc: bir...@soigeneris.com Subject: Aw: Re: [M100] BackPack - read data from CLI Hi Jeff, I´ve added the following to the listing below to "see" if BPD responds .. 42 INPUT#2,K 43 IF K<>"#" GOTO 42 44 PRINT K ..

Re: [M100] BackPack - read data from CLI
The only thing ts-dos is doing differently is it's treating .ba files according to the rules of .ba files, as dictated by the main rom. It's not a ts-dos thing. teeny and floppy etc have to do the same exact thing.

You might be sending the SET command before the BPD has time to wake up and respond. It will return a ‘#’ when it wakes up and switches to CLI mode.
