I've got a question for those who have dabbled with OptROM code. Question: What is the proper way to exit out of the OptROM and back to BASIC. Reason: The NEC 8201a doesn't have the LINE function build into the system ROM. There is a RAM version of the utility. I managed to relocate the code so

A couple questions. 1) What are you planning to do with the boot disk? 2) Do you have a PC setup with the proper cable for TPPD emulation? The reason for asking is this. The boot disk allows you to 'boot' or load Tandy's TPDD client software onto your computer. This is floppy.co. It works,

One test for the original poster. If you are using a full null cable, just enable RTS/CTS on your settings and give it a try. This would eliminate the question. I say this because my T200 gave me a few issues when I was developing mComm. The thing that was strange was I had to have RTS/CTS
