I am using the Model 100 that my father used to take on business
trips, so I have been in this for awhile.
Also have a TI-99/4A and an Amiga 500.

I was just thinking if you use the BUILDIT script you just need a framework
4.5 or higher.

Happy to try it with a debug build and produce some logs.

Hey John,
I'm trying to compile LaddieAlpha on Ubuntu 14.04 using mono-mcs. Have
you ever tried this before? I'm getting a bunch of compile errors, but
have never programmed in C# before so don't really know if syntax like

I had similar issues randomly when starting NEWDOS / LaddieAlpha.
When it happened, what worked is to break out of NEWDOS (sometimes takes a
hitting reset button), go into TELCOM, stat 981ND, term, F8 Bye, CALL
NEWDOS again.
The BASIC launcher I wrote has a similar effect since it opens the COM
So when you say NEWDOS hangs, is this after hitting F4, for instance, to
get a DISK listing? If the server wasn't responding, then I would
expect NEWDOS to simply print the "DRIVE NOT READY" error message.
Makes me think NEWDOS is receiving *something*, but doesn't like what is
returned and
Happy to do a packet capture once this all moves to IP. Of course, it may also
just work. At this point it's pure wired RS-232 -> USB with the unexpected
behavior but I can try to do Unix Fanciness to cap what's happening on the tty
if that helps. I'd love to be able to just switch to NEWDOS
I think what would be good is to get wireshark running somewhere in that IP
link.
Ideally we should see a single packet carrying the request and a single
packet carrying the response.
I don't know that this is necessary for good comms, but I have a feeling it
helps.
Joshua, are you familiar with
Happy to be a part of that effort in any way I can be of service.
I also tried Kurt's SARDOS-D with delay inbuilt, and it complains of disk not
ready after a short burst of I/O. Switching to any of the non-delayed ROMs
restores functionality once LaddieAlpha is bounced.
The WiModem isn't here
Sounds like we (I) need to create a debug version of NEWDOS to figure
out where it is getting lost or something.

Cold resetting and re-re-loading to REX didn't restore the functionality, nor
did restarting my TPDD emulator.

Alas, no joy on this approach either, with either LaddieAlpha or dlplus running
at the other end. Flipping to a vanilla rom (Or one of Kurt's ROMs) after
resetting
I have seven M100 with new Sys Roms. All have the Y2K fix and serial number
entered over "Microsoft (C)." Two have a straight in 27c256 and four have a
modified Mike Stein adapter board. Need to build one more adapter for last M100.
I have the M102 that got messed -- probably because I did not

Hi Joshua,
Well, a cold reset will fix any issue with the M100 side of the
equation. NEWDOS has no way of saving contextual information through a
cold boot. The only information it saves is within the "TS-DOS" menu
launcher (which is actually a BASIC program with no .BA extension). A

Thanks all for the recommendations and links. Looking forward to getting
this all up and running.

Hi Ken,
In anticipation of my WiModem coming in I've decided to experiment with NEWDOS
5.05 while using my wired connection. I got it to come up on the DISK screen
both with and without a delay, but the next time I went back into TS-DOS all
disk operations would hang. Now I've even gone so
Thanks Ron, that's good to know.

I think I'm with Steve. For 102, you have to desolder a whole dip-28, which
as you discovered can be tricky, and for what benefit? The only modified
rom that currently exists is a couple bytes changed for a mostly cosmetic
y2k fix.
Are you planning on hacking on the main rom? I would love that.
With the troubles I'm having with my sight, I don't want to make a mess of
another removal/replace on a M102. I figured clipping the CS and adding a
switch would better. Otherwise, I would prefer adding a "socket" et al.
Thanks,

I must say - what is the end objective? What ROM other than T102 ROM do
you want as the main ROM?
REX provides y2k fix...
You can probably tell but I am not really a fan anymore of using REX to
replace the main rom. In my experience it has had little benefit and much
pain.
On Tue, Mar 31, 2020
I have mucked the M102 up removing the system ROM and installing a socket.
Believe I broke a trace somewhere, but am unable to track it down due eye sight

everything) that even my magnifier hasn't helped.

It's designed exactly to facilitate switching back to an internal rom after
