Hi At this time, no. It would require some changes due to the unique memory map in the T200 relative to the M100. I think the biggest issue is that an all ram mode is not clearly possible. There would be a hole fro. 8000 to 9FFF. That's not great for CPM. Steve On Saturday, May 14, 2022, Hi

I found a minor issue just now; When switching from M100 to CP/M, it is possible that the M100 leaves the SCREEN in the scroll lock state. Here is a simple basic program that de-scroll locks the screen and starts CPM. It assumes RXCMGR is installed. CPM.BA 10 screen0:cls:print"Enabling scroll..

Also, just a comment, for the sake of those on the list, If you ran RXCTST, your REXCPM is now completely blank. I hope that comes as no surprise!\No Directory, no ROMs, no REXMGR. So, you really have to re-run RXCINI.DO to re install RXCMGR from scratch, and then re-install TS-DOS. cheers S

remember, the reason for the upgrade is the fairly damaging bug discovered with REXCPM, which corrupts the file system. So, not surprising things could be messed up. A cold restart WITH A POWER CYCLE is necessary to make sure REXCPM starts up in default state and has freshly cleaned out RAM. I've

Makes no sense. I would cold boot. The ram file system gets damaged by the current version of RXCMGR. So it makes sense to clean house anyways. On Monday, November 30, 2020, Tom Hoppe wrote: > Hmm. Getting this error when I try to run RXCUTL.BA for the update on an > clean/empty M100: > > ?F
