Gotta agree, one of the first things I did with my REX was assemble the old 
SandR sample ROM and install it.

You don't have a Rex? That and virtual t are the best ways to test option roms.

  I've been working on a new ROM for my NEC for about a year now and
  I'm 

  just about ready to release it. I took the Sardine ROM and TS-DOS
  ROM 

  and figured out how to merge them into one. It required me to move
  33 

  bytes of code from Sardine higher up into the ROM area, removal of
  the 

  internal 7k word dictionary and then adding TS-DOS. I had to
  change some 

  of the jumps in TS-DOS to match the OptROM code that switches back
  and 

  forth to the regular system ROM but everything is working really
  well 

  now. The two outstanding issues are to get rid of the Sardine
  prompt 

  that asks if you want to spell check with the Rom or Disk and the
  T-Word 

  indicator that checks to see if DOS is loaded. Right now it is
  looking 

  for the RAM hooks not the ROM hooks. Once I have these two items
  ironed 

  out I'll post it.

Re: [M100] A New ROM on the way

2016-03-29 Thread Kurt McCullum 
UR andUR-2 were different.Built in you have Word, Idea!, T-Base, T-Report and 
View80.Sardine and DOS were Ram add-ons that could be loaded when needed.A 
great ROM but the RAM versions of Sardine are MIA except for the 200.
This ROM is just Word, Dos and Sardine. So it really isn't extending the 
Ultimate ROM series. 

At this point I'll post the beta as SARDOS but if we get a better name I'll 
change it. Not the greatest name but it clearly defines the two ROM images that 
were merged together to make it.

You don't have a Rex? That and virtual t are the best ways to test option
roms.

I think so. It's the ROM I have wanted to some time. I finished it up 
today so the image is off to the EPROM burner. Now the real testing begins.

Subject [M100] A New ROM on the way


I've been working on a new ROM for my NEC for about a year now and I'm
just about ready to release it. I took the Sardine ROM and TS-DOS ROM
and figured out how to merge them into one. It required me to move 33
bytes of code from Sardine higher up into the ROM area, removal of the
internal 7k word dictionary and then adding TS-DOS. I had to change some
of the jumps in TS-DOS to match the OptROM code that switches back and
forth to the regular system ROM but everything is working really well
now. The two outstanding issues are to get rid of the Sardine prompt
that asks if you want to spell check with the Rom or Disk and the T-Word
indicator that checks to see if DOS is loaded. Right now it is looking
for the RAM hooks not the ROM hooks. Once I have these two items ironed
out I'll post it.

I've been working on a new ROM for my NEC for about a year now and I'm 
just about ready to release it. I took the Sardine ROM and TS-DOS ROM 
and figured out how to merge them into one. It required me to move 33 
bytes of code from Sardine higher up into the ROM area, removal of the 
internal 7k word dictionary and then adding TS-DOS. I had to change some 
of the jumps in TS-DOS to match the OptROM code that switches back and 
forth to the regular system ROM but everything is working really well 
now. The two outstanding issues are to get rid of the Sardine prompt 
that asks if you want to spell check with the Rom or Disk and the T-Word 
indicator that checks to see if DOS is loaded. Right now it is looking 
for the RAM hooks not the ROM hooks. Once I have these two items ironed 
out I'll post it.

Incredible news, Kurt!  Really looking forward to this.  I'll gladly host
the file for you on Web8201 if desired.
