teeny works with most, maybe all tpdd servers. I use it almost exclusively
with dlplus myself. the dlplus package actually includes teeny and a
teeny-installer.
It's actually fairly convenient once you've done it once or twice so you
don't actually have to read and think about all the prompts.

Thank you for spotting that. I have found it and uploaded a copy to the

My daughter (she's 9) and I are working together on a program, partly for

I guess for division your random numbers are the divisor and the result of
the division.
Multiply them together to get what you are to divide.

A raspberry pi cannot simulate a ROM chip as far as I know.
Seems like it would be a speed issue.
You could do interface a pi to serial port though, that has been done.

Or simply subtract the Divisor from the Dividend until the Dividend
is less than the Divisor - The index of the loop is the
Quotient, & the Remainder is what's left of the Quotient.
I hope I did'nt screw that up - 3rd grade was about 60 years ago...

LOL it happens I guess; I'm close to that many years removed from having to

Another way to say it... take two non zero random integers a, b. Multiply
them together to get c.
c is divisible by a and b with no remainder or fraction. c is also greater

What about working division backwards: The routine generates the desired
*result* and computes the required problem to get that result.
Is the answer is: 6 remainder 2
Generate random divisor, say '7'.
Computer dividend = 7*6+2 = 44
State problem as: "What's 44 / 7 ?"

When I get a chance, going to try following the tutorial and make some if I
can. Or perhaps save me buying a programmer, order the chips and send them
to whom ever has a programmer. Then I can just deal with putting them
together.
Will be great to see if we can knock a few PCBs out for the club.
DOSBOX makes it easy to run the "old" DOS programs i.e. TEENY, DeskLink even on
PC with Windows 10 32/64bit.
Serial communication even via a USB-serial adapter (I run a Prolific PL-2303)
with my T-Models (100, 102, 200)
runs well w/o any issues. It´s well documented and configuration is not

Awesome suggestions all around! I'll have to bring them to my programming
partner this evening. :-) I'll share the BA file once we're up and running
and after I've had a chance to go through and compress it a little. Right
now we're pushing 7K. 🤔 We're apparently getting paid by the KLOC.
I don't think there's a speed issue. They benchmarked the speed of the GPIO
pins on a Raspberry Pi and they were able to toggle the output pins at 22
Megahertz using an optimized program written in C. See

I've been trying to get TEENY.EXE to work on my desktop. I've got a
USB-serial adapter set to com1 but TEENY is unable to detect a laptop. I'm
having to run TEENY.EXE in a DOS box due to it being a 16bit application.
Does it require a real serial port?

well the socket is read only. no writes allowed. one might be able to
adopt the rex methodology however to enable writes in a read only socket.

I was afraid of that. Well it’s not liking my setup here so I’ll have to pull
an old laptop out of mothballs at work tomorrow which has a real serial port
and XP on it. That may solve my problem. I’m using DOSbox but neither TEENY or
DESKLINK is happy with COM1 being a USB->serial adapter.

you have to tell your dosbox the serial port information:
https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Configuration:SerialPort
basically your usb port will be like COM5 so you have to set port 1 to
realport:COM5

Jim,
Unfortunately I already ordered and received mine. I did however note if
you search for AM29F800BB on ebay there are plenty of chips available from
various sellers.
Also, while I have not tried any of these the Macronix MX29F400CBTI-70G
available from Digikey looks to be a compatible match.
All the items are available on eBay at much lower prices.
I bought enough parts for 10 Rex units and 5 Quads in May and the total
cost for the parts was around USD $70. Here are the links (some of the
prices have increased since I bought), hope you find them useful:
