UR-II and Sardine both have TS-DOS code that is stripped down to the bare minimum. Basically just a loader for a specific filename (DOS100.CO or SAR100.CO). Sardine has the same loader plus a couple other features. The TPDD protocol works. It may not be the 'standard' for anything but our Model-Ts

If you could make room for only one thing in the main rom, would it be a tpdd dos, or xmodem? Remember, tpdd was only one of a few different kinds of disks, it's only a sort of defacto standard now because of various reasons, probably mostly because it works over the serial port and the protocol

Sched is itty bitty. Plus it's cool. If folks are not using it, probably don't know what it is. It's an ingenious little line oriented text database that you can use for anything you want. Really all it is is a super simple text search that shows you matching lines but that goes a long way with

This brings a question to mind. The Tandy 200 and NEC 8201 (and 8300) have multiple banks. Since the 27c512 is identical to the 27c256 ROM with the exception of pin 1 which is for address 15. Could a 27C512 be inserted with pin 1 bent to stick out to the side and then a wire run from pin 1 to the

Another simple approach that's often used is to have an adapter with an (E)EPROM large enough to hold several ROM images and a physical (or logical) switch to select among them (essentially what my adapter does, but with only one OptROM image). Unfortunately there's very little vertical

I know I'm a broken record asking about this again, but I keep hoping that someone will come across the floppy that contains the RAM version of Sardine for the NEC. The file is named SARNEC.CO and it would be between 6k-7k in size. It is the only file missing which would allow the UR-II ROM for

Brian, Having done this myself with the SARDOS ROM, I can tell you it is not easy. I managed to merged two OPTROM images together to make one. The only reason I had success is because Traveling Software just happened to build their TS-DOS ROM in a location of the 32K OPTROM space that allowed it

Multiple ROMs would be easy enough with a REX. Of course if the REX goes, you could be out of luck. I have invested gated in a very small state of developing a smaller OS that would be in bits much, as I imagine, you are talking about. My professional work started on old NCR Tower system with

You know... thinking about that problem of needing a way to get a dos back if you wipe ram, why can't we have multiple roms? Would it be theoretically possible, assuming some new hardware, to break up the 32k rom address space into smaller seperate chunks, so instead of having to choose ts-dos rom
