Those messages would indicate an error in the pySerial library, not mComm. The
list_ports functions gets a list of available serial ports. You may want to
check what version is installed. I think the most recent one is 3.4. There is
more information at the site below.

This is true, but with a difference. It loads DOS100.CO on demand rather than

So TSL100.DO is a 3K file, that can be downloaded through TELCOM or the
RUN"COM command. It's a text form of a BASIC program that creates TSLOAD.CO,
a 526 byte CO program. But TSLOAD.CO doesn't do anything but loads DOS100.CO
binary file. Which is 8k.
It all works... but if you go straight to TEE

Well, if I try to rename ADVENT1.BA to ADVEN.DO, it still says file already

I even tried LOADing a .DO file. Again it says file already exists, but
this time the file in RAM has 1 bit. In reality it should be around 511.
Uh RAM is corrupte

Ah. I think it is a file format/ extension problem. A Known issue
ADVEN1.BA is misnamed. It is a text file, so its extension should be .DO
not .BA . .BA is only for tokenized basic programs.
TS-DOS sees the BA extension and tries to load the contents as a tokenized
(binary) BASIC program, into th
Is ADVEN1.BA a text file or tokenized basic? Quite a few of the files from
club100 have a .BA extension but are actually .DO files.
