Hi Ray,
What is your HIMEM set to? It should be set to just below where TS-DOS
loads. Otherwise, loading a program could overwrite TS-DOS and crash it.

Hi All,
I've been having to do a lot of writing lately, so I decided to dust
off one of my lovely Tandy 102s.
I had used it heavily about 3 years ago, and never had a problem with
saving and retrieving files from my NADSBox, using TS-DOS.
I installed TS-DOS using the DSKMGR.100 BASIC file. The install went
smoothly, and all seemed OK. I was able to save and retrieve *.DO
files easily to and from the 102 and my NADSBox.
Then I tried to load a *.BA program from the NADSBox to my 102, and
this is where everything went wrong. The *.BA program loaded onto my
102, but it wrote itself into RAM that was being used by another *.BA
program I had there, or by the TS-DOS *.CO file itself!
I tried doing some CLEAR commands in the BASIC interpreter prior to
loading *.BA files, to no avail. The *.BA files would get loaded,
then would eventually cause the 102 to do a hard reset, taking me back
to January 1, 1900. :-)
I know this is really basic stuff, but I have spent hours combing
through the references on club100.org and bitchin100.com and have not
had any luck. It's weird because I never had this problem before, but
I am clearly forgetting something very basic.
If anyone has any advice on what I am doing wrong in this scenario, I
would be much obliged. thanks!
