I'm Ron Hudson, and I am using TOMSRTBT to run a small floppy only laptop with 8mb memory!
I'm going to be making it a more general linux.
----
I wanted printer support for a text printer (I read paper better than I read screens)
so I copied lp_o from the add-ons (add-ons/Kernel/misc/lp_o.bz) then added the following
lines to rc.custom.bz
cp /fl/lp_o /lib/modules/lp_o insmod /lib/modules/lp_o
I also wrote my own lp in Lua
#! /usr/bin/lua
line = 3
page = 1
pagezize = 60
outs = writeto("/dev/lp0")
write("Page ",page," date:",date("%A B D Y %H:%M"),"\n")
write("============================================================\n")
repeat
if line == pagezize then
write("============================================================\n")
write("Page ",page," date:",date("%A %B %D %Y %H:%M "),"\f")
line = 3
write("Page ",page," date:",date("%A %B %D %Y %H:%M "),"\n")
write("============================================================\n")
page = page + 1
end
line = line + 1
thisline = read("*line")
if thisline ~= nil then
write(thisline,"\n")
end
until thisline == nil
repeat
write("\n")
line = line + 1
until line == pagezize
write("============================================================\n")
write("Page ",page," date:",date("%A %B %d %Y %H:%M "),"\f");
I put that in the root of the floppy with lp_o and settings.s. Perhaps it could have
been added as a here-document in rc.custom (it could be compressed that way).
