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,

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

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

I figured it out, to a point. I was using mComm to inject TS-DOS via RUN"COM:98N1E" but after it loads I can no longer CLEAR 1000,62000 (even if I delete TS-DOS.BA). However, I *now* know that the CLEAR command works fine from a clean M100 (as it should), and I determined that loading it via TEENY

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: > >
