Here are a couple of YouTube videos that I referred to when I was getting my system set up. I still had to tweak some things here and there but in general these guys do a pretty good job of walking the viewer through the process. https://youtu.be/WoPxMRZRBzg <- using a PC and a 102

Thanks MIke! Your clarifications are most appreciated! I assume a tokenized .BA file either wont open at all or be "garbled" when opened in notepad or vi whereas a proper plain-text .DO or .BA will be readable. several low-cost methods of putting TS-DOS into a ROM This is reckon is the "next

Re: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB

Not to be too pedantic, but putting .BA and .DO files together might be a little misleading. A 'real' .BA file can not be successfully transferred using terminal programs unless you also load something like xmodem etc., and has to be transferred in the same way as .CO files. So I would say

I'd be happy to create a "bootstrap" page on the bitchin100 wiki to go into the details I initially got hung up on: - Initial serial null modem connection and testing using screen (*nix) hyperterminal (win) and telcom. - BA/DO transfers using telcom & screen/minicom. - Loading DOS (TEENY or

I've never played around with HTERM but I think I might after this thread. :-) Maybe fire up Lynx and do some web surfing on my M100. On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 1:01 PM, Lee Olivares wrote: > If using minicom to move over BA/DO files be sure to do ASCII transfers, > unless you've

Re: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB

I haven't tried an M100-to-PC connection in ages, and that was done through the use of Disk+. For now, I would like to access the hundreds of .DO, .CO, and .BA files I have downloaded off the Web, now residing on the main Linux workstation in the network. The primary server and NAS are both

If using minicom to move over BA/DO files be sure to do ASCII transfers, unless you've loaded sxm.100 or another XMODEM compatible telcom enhancement that is. - Lee - 909.437.0250 - Destroying technology problems. On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 8:33 AM, Mike Stein wrote: > I

Re: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB

I think what we need is a video showing TS-DOS (preferably in ROM) or mcomm in action; I don't know why anyone would want to fool with terminal programs these days (especially at 300 baud ;-) with so many better alternatives around unless there were a special reason. As John pointed out,

Re: [M100] Questions regarding Full Null Modem Cables, specif Serial to USB

That cable should work fine for you - all I do is go into BASIC on the M100 and type new load"com:38n1e" ...then launch minicom on my Linux box and use 'send file' and select the .BA (or whatever) file that I've downloaded. Actually I just realized I've never tried it in reverse but I suppose

AFAIR, (but It's 30 years ago!) that's what he used, sorting in RAM (actually, on RAMdisk) a almost-sorted list. Consider that this was done (probably before the Model T) in the early-80s, on a boosted (3,5 Mhz) TRS-80. ANYTHING that was faster was amazing on that machine. Jan From: M100

Re: [M100] Custom characters

That is one incredible "hack" in the classic sense of the word. (jaw-dropping/awe-emoticon needed) Reminds me of a fellow in my TRS-80 club that used the unused 2Kb memory space between the ROM and the RAM of a TRS-80 to address 512Kb (and later 2Mb) as a RAMdisk. And then wrote his own
