How about a jacket?

For those that may be interested, attached is 2 ways to go about the above. The idea was originally conceived by Charlie Summerhill. I went with the procedure that Michael Dorman came up with - West Penn newsletter. PlatoDSDD.pdf 1988_12 WEST PENN.pdf

This is something I've been wanting to do since I first read about it many years ago - Taking all the SS/SD Plato disks and converting them to DS/DD. What does this mean? It means that the entire Plato courseware has been put onto 139 DS/DD disks instead of over 450 SS/SD disks. I primarily did this so I could pile all the disks on to one of my Nanopebs's - starting at Volume 100 (see attached Word file) Note that I do not have: Seperating Fact from Fiction Physics Elementary Mechanics Please note - These disks must be transfered as a complete sector copy - As Plato uses sector 359 (>167) as the directory sector. I believe I have done them all correctly, let me know if not - And yes, It was a pain in the ass! Plato DSDD.zip PLATOLIST.doc

I would like to know Bill’s situation. I will dig for TimeTrack and upload when found.

Maybe I’ve got some funky Plato bin files. Can I convert GK cart saves to .bin?

My Nanopebs don’t seem to like the PLATO cart when used off a FinalGROM. A real PLATO cart works just fine. I just get a blue screen when using the FinalGROM version. Anybody else have issues with this?

That cover was my doing, kid.

Needless to say, I use TI-Writer heavily in each and every issue of Yesterday’s News.

I thought so too. That is an actual ad of a product that was offered for sale.

I used a TI-99/4A then a Geneve at work many moons ago. Bill Gaskell even wrote a software piece for me called TIMETRACK.

SXB included “Draw n Plot” which was a software package that was sold on disk by Quality99 or QS if you will. I have the diskette version as well.

Nice pix Cap! Keep ‘em coming! We’ll do a raffle for those 8’s at the next VAST meeting.

I particularly like where the batteries are placed.

I don’t suppose there is an easy “patch” to have the other flavors of XB to work?

I am using the XB variants as supplied on the FINALGROM package.

I have discovered an odd problem using BOOT with different flavors of XB like RXB and MECHATRONICS for examples. Using RalphB's excellent FinalGrom I have loaded up RXB and selected an Extended basic program from my my Boot menu - after doing so BOOT complains No Ex-Basic, press any key. Same thing happens when trying the Mechatronics version. Others may as well? Super Extended Basic works fine, as well as TI's v110. Is BOOT looking for a specific version of XB? I am using V 12/13/89 version of BOOT.
