That looks great Brian. Back in the day there was a device called RAMBO which was an option RAM which could be loaded by the machine with any ROM image. I don't know much about it, but it seems to me you are not far from re-creating it. Kurt On Wed, Mar 11, 2020, at 1:32 PM, Brian K. White wro

machine has my REX in it because it's far easier to test ROM images with REX than to burn them to a ROM. As an in-between level of fanciness, I just finished making a little board that puts a 28C256 in a 27C256 socket. That could be used in the option rom socket of an 8201 or 8300, and the

Anyone on the list can reach out for REX. If I have some, great, or I build them. Given my big effort on REXCPM, I've spent some time on how to make REX easier and cheaper. That's REX#. Soon to be available. On Wed, Mar 11, 2020 at 1:52 PM Josh Malone wrote: > Gotcha! Thanks! I can't remember

A 27C512 has the identical pin configuration as a 27C256 with the exception of pin 1. Pin 1 is used to access the upper 32k or the ROM. On the system board, U11 is the chip of interest. Here is what happens when you go from bank 1 to 2 and to 3. 10 15 0 0 = Bank 1 0 1 = Bank 2 1 1 = Bank 3 I

Details! This sounds great. I didn't realize that REXNEC (or whatever it's called) was still being built, so I haven't REXed up my NEC. On Wed, Mar 11, 2020 at 1:30 PM Kurt McCullum wrote: > Speaking of standard ROMS, a 27C512 can be burned with SARDOS on the lower > 32k and UR-II on the upper 3

Speaking of standard ROMS, a 27C512 can be burned with SARDOS on the lower 32k and UR-II on the upper 32k. Then pin one wired to a pin on the system board. This allows for bank 1 to have SARDOS and bank 2 to have UR-II. I have a couple of mine setup this way. On Wed, Mar 11, 2020, at 10:23 AM,

The 8201a can take a standard 27C256, so you can drop in a 'SARDOS' ROM or some such. If you want one, I can burn it for you (I might have 1 or 2 already made up from Tandy Assmebly). Contact me off-list On Wed, Mar 11, 2020 at 1:20 PM Jason Benson wrote: > Is there a loader for NEC TSDOS? My 82

I don't have TS-Load but here is a DO file that will load it into ram. It's large, but once loaded you can delete the DO file and TS-DOS will be in RAM ready to use. This is one of the three loaders I put together for mComm. On Tue, Mar 10, 2020, at 8:47 PM, Joshua O'Keefe wrote: > On Mar 10, 20

You need DOS100.CO which is about 6k in size. UR-II loads it from your TPDD device (Original floppy disk, or emulator such as mComm, Laddiealpha or Nadsbox) The Sardine spell checker can also be loaded in the same way. On Tue, Mar 10, 2020, at 7:12 PM, Jason Benson wrote: > When I try to run TS-

When I try to run TS-DOS from the Ultimate ROM II(v2.12) I get the error "Not found". Do I need to load a separate binary for TS-DOS? I haven't found one yet , but I still have a lot of stuff to look through. -Jason
