The only thing ts-dos is doing differently is it's treating .ba files
according to the rules of .ba files, as dictated by the main rom. It's
not a ts-dos thing. teeny and floppy etc have to do the same exact thing.

You might be sending the SET command before the BPD has time to wake up
and respond. It will return a ‘#’ when it wakes up and switches to CLI
mode.

Hello together,
I tried to read "settings" from a BackPack+ with the following, but w/o
success
10 REM read settings from BackPack/BackPack+
20 REM set variables
21 MAXFILES=2:DEFSTR A-K
22 CP="COM:98N1ENN"
30 REM open COM: for I/O
31 OPEN CP FOR OUTPUT AS 1
32 OPEN CP FOR INPUT AS 2
40 REM turn-on CLI mode
41 PRINT#1,STRING$(4,13)
50 REM send "set" command to BackPack/BackPack+
51 PRINT#1,"set";CHR$(13)
60 REM read data from BackPack (set returns 9? values)
61 INPUT#2,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I
70 REM show "settings"
71 PRINT A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I
80 REM turn-off CLI mode
81 PRINT#1,"bye"
99 END
What is wrong in the above? Any idea?
btw this works:
10 REM read data from BackPack/BackPack+
20 REM set variables
21 MAXFILES=2:DEFSTR A-K
22 CP="COM:98N1ENN"
30 REM open COM: for I/O
31 OPEN CP FOR OUTPUT AS 1
32 OPEN CP FOR INPUT AS 2
40 REM read from BackPack/BackPack+ (Date=A, Time=B, Day=C)
41 PRINT#1,"FF";chr$(7);chr$(13)
42 INPUT#2,A,B,C
50 REM print values
51 PRINT A,B,C
99 END
Thanks for your help
