the files would be 8-bit safe and we could construct BASIC programs on the

I reproduced it on the 200.
1. Cold booted (I turned the 200's memory switch off before I put it
away.)
2. Started Rex with CALL 61167,2
3. Create a text file TEST.DO
- This is a test
- This is line 2
- This is line 3
4. Created a new backup called "TEST"
5.
. I will probably shelve it, except for testing,
and rely on the 102, which is more compatible.
The first thing I tried was the TSLOAD BASIC loader, but it turns out
serial stuff on the 200 is very different. Different UARTS and different OS
code.

I did find a hack from the ROM2 manual, which POKES some values into RAM.
The problem is that it's super delicate, and if you turn the computer off
while the values are changed, you can't recover without a cold boot. (Don't
ask how I know that.)

Has anybody seen a program like this? Is it possible to hook the $4B44

What do I need to do to load this file into BASIC on the T-100? Do I need
to use VirtualT to convert it to a binary BASIC file first?
On that note... should we add an enhancement to VirtualT to save ASCII
encoded BASIC files with something like .ba.do, instead of just .ba, when

Also, if you're looking for an 8-bit CP/M laptop, the Epson PX-8 is exactly
that. It runs CP/M from ROM and uses a RAM disk for storage. (Strangely, it
uses a cassette for mass storage.)
I had one of those, too, once upon a time... and I also don't know where

to do it?
I love CP/M, but I'm not quite in a place where I want to modify SMT

Yes, you could do it with a Teensy.
The only issue is that the ready made MIDI shiields won't fit on a Teensy,
since the Teensy is a different shape than Arduino. So you'd either need to
figure out the pin assignment or roll your own I/O board.

I don't see that as an issue at all. It uses its own power supply, just
like the synthesizer will. You can power an Arduino from a 9v wall wart or
a USB power supply. If this needs to be portable, a
ounds of two
audio devices together through the MIDI cable, as this causes ground loops
and hum. So properly designed MIDI cables (as opposed to generic DIN-5
patch cables or PC keyboard extensions) only connect the shield at one end.
