Hello Brian, First of all, again thanks for taking the time to answer me in so
much detail. You're right about the confusion about TPDD client and emulators,
I actually just did the mistake, installing on my msdos computer what is
clearly an tpdd client, not an emulator. By the way here's my setup :)
https://ibb.co/ccMR2Gw I have the files from the latest REX"2.1 ZIP file, a
working serial link obviously I'm planning to use an MSDOS computer (here a
libretto out of my collection) as with a recent Maxbook pro M1 everything
becomes more complicated. What you you recommend for bootstrapping from MSDOS
(6.22) (Alternatively the libretto has Win98 if needed.) Same question for the
TPDD emulator ? The rest of your instructions are super clear, and I'll try
that right away, maybe making a summary post myself thanks! Le 2022-04-13
