Casey Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) This may (and probably certainly has been) have been asked before, but I have hunted around and haven't found what I am seeking. Suppose I'm using Classic99 and I've got some TI BASIC program files I've saved to my PC's hard disk. I want to use these on my real 99/4A. I have a nanoPEB and a CF adapter thingy hooked up to my PC to exchange files. I have no problem using dsk2cf to move disk images from the PC to the TI. But Classic99 won't write to a disk image according to the documentation, and I don't know how to get these 2 files into a disk image so that I can put it in my CF reader for the real TI to use. How do I make this work? Thanks! EDIT - After I posted this, I figured out how to do it.... This can be deleted by someone who can delete threads.

+OLD CS1 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Use TI99Dir. You can create disk images, copy files in and out, and copy the images to your CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi, Classic99 does write to DSKs. Are you using the latest version ? (maybe the latest version of the manual still does not know that) And yes, TI99DIR is easier to use for just file/disk actions imho xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 also you can use CFHDXS from Fred Kaal and hook up a null modem cable between your pc and the nanopeb and use that to copy across.. HDX is simple to set up on the pc side.. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The documentation is most likely out of date on the limitation of disk images. I've not remembered to go through it for a long time. But yes, disk writing works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Cool! After I panic-posted and then read the doc for ti99dir again, I figured out how to get individual files into a volume on the CF card, so I’m good to go. But it’s good to know I can use Classic99 to write to disk images now as well. Much easier to send files the the 99/4A that way than trying to type them in by hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also, I believe, use JS99er to copy and paste a program into basic or extended basic then save to a disk image.
