Turns out it was a silly network issue. My work's WiFi is absolutely terrible, so somehow, I had enough to rsync files, but not apt-get anything... It's an RPiA+ running Wheezy. It's a bit slow running. I got it finally up and running LaddieAlpha, although it takes a few tries at first to get T

I think DLPlus is actually what I'm running. Shows up as just an executable called "dl". Turns out my RPi is having issues installing mono, so LadieAlpha might be out for now. I'm pretty happy with my little dl setup so far. I have my RPi setup to boot to X-Windows and auto launch a script that:

Awesome! The Load .DO, save .BA trick works! At least for the first program I tried. And now I know what all my cold-starts were caused by! :P I'm also going to try LadieAlpha, but I'm currently a bit skeptical as it's going to be running a Windows executable via mono on a Raspberry Pi A+ runnin

Joe, The basic files on the club100 site are not tokenized but they still have a .BA extension which can cause confusion. They should have a .DO extension. You can load them as a text files if you change the extension. After loading the file, go into Basic, and then type LOAD "FILE.DO". It will

Hi everyone! I'm new to the group, having been a CoCo1 owner way back when, and long time lusting after the m100. I've been playing with a Desklink setup I'm running on a Raspberry Pi, which seems to be going pretty well, but I've got this weird problem: Most programs don't load over properly.
