Say you are a new owner of an M100 and you try to load ‘file.ba’ which shows up in the menu as ‘file.do’, what will you guess the problem is. You might try it again and get the same result and get pretty frustrated. If I copy ‘file.ba’ to my SD card and then it does not show up as being on the

Yet another option? In efforts to get an M1 using TS-DOS over an RS-232 to bluetooth dongle. The problem was the need of a delayed version of TSDOS.DO. mCom's injection in a non-delay version. So, found an ASCII terminal for my Macbook (Cool Term) and verified the connect in TERM. Opened up

In response to Mike. I got your entoke.exe file, but it on a Win10 computer and it only works on 32-bit computers. Have a Win95 computer here, so maybe I'll give it a go on it. If Win95 isn't 16-bit Looking forward to Bob's version! Curtis On Thu, Oct 21, 2021 at 1:18 PM John R. Hogerhuis

The closest thing to a perfect solution... that just works... is for the disk service to present the proper extension instead of the incorrect one. That's what Laddiealpha does. It peeks at beginning of the file to see if it's a binary file and automatically presents a correct extension to TSDOS.

Thanks for the note, Mike. I did write a tokenizer program for Windows boxes (TOKENIZE.EXE). It presents a simple window with a list box showing all .DO files which, when selected, will be tokenized, change the extension to .BA, and save them to the same directory. Or you can create a new

These are all interesting ideas but still require the user to know ahead of time that the problem of mismatched extensions exists and how to work around it. The LOAD"0:PROG.DO” might be the easiest thing to recommend once someone realizes they have this problem, but then that also requires they

It might be possible to have the Backpack return a TS-DOS error message if you try to load a .BA file is really a .DO. The choice of messages is limited though. If this error message were shown when you tried to load a .BA file what would be your first thought? "Bad File Name" We would

Hi, While 'Retr0Brite', i.e. using hydrogen peroxide to whiten plastic is a bleaching process other types of bleach do not work the same. Bleaching agents, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine bleach, etc. do not work exactly the same so can't be interchanged for this use case. If you want to learn

This would not solve the underlying problem(s). A. New users of the M100 always get bitten in the butt by this BA/DO file issue. B. Once you learn it is a problem you still have the manual process of making sure the sure the extension of the file is correct. Loading a .DO as a

Hydrogen peroxide gave me wonderful results. But like you said, it's expensive. So I don't buy hydrogen peroxide. I buy hair bleaching gel. Buy it at "40 Volume" or (even better) "50 Volume" concentration. That means it's 15% hydrogen peroxide, plus some other chemicals to make it a gel that
