I don’t get a runtime error. I get a message saying there weren’t any. This is nice when developing, but I wouldn’t want a finished program to display it. There is probably a way to suppress or trap it.

It might also be that I am not as quick to learn new things as I was back in 1982 when I got the VIC20 and 1985 when I bought my C128. LOL

I intend to install ForceCommand once I figure some of this stuff out. I know this all probably seems easy to most of you, but to me coming from a Commodore and PC background, it is very strange. I think I see why the VIC 20 sold better. It really isn’t as powerful, but much easier to use.

Ok, I think I understand that. I will try it and see how well it works. Thanks for the information.

Cool, I will look. I have been reading so much between TIPI, FinalGROM99, FBFORTH, Turbo Pasc’99, etc that I just can’t absorb it all.

I have an idea for a new feature for the TIPIs. I find myself changing the disk mapping depending on what I am trying to do. The auto feature helps a little, but doesn’t always do what I want. So I was wondering if a feature to have multiple config files could be implemented. So I could have say “TP99.cfg” for when running Turbo Pasc’99 , “FB4TH.cfg” for when I am running FBFORTH, etc. So call TIPI, load config, reset and go. What are your thoughts?

It worked! I can even run it with CALL TIPI(“DSK1.TEST1”). Is there a way to suppress the message about runtime errors at the end? I also noticed there are programs named ASSM1 and ASSM2 in the TP3 directory. Can they be used instead of the editor/Assembler cartrigpdge?

Thanks! I have been reading the manual, but it wasn't clear to me what the steps were to go from source code to a working program. I will keep this shorter document handy at least until I have all of this.

I finally got Turbo Pasc99 running. I created a small program to print “Hello World”. It compiles fine so I compiled It to DSK1.TEST. So how do I convert this to a program and run it? I would prefer to create program files that can be used with just TIPI, I think that is an EA5 file? When I load “test” into the editor, I can see what looks like assembly language to me. Do I use the Assembler next?

Ok, sorry.

Ok, I have Turbo Pasc99 running now. I created a small program to print “Hello World”. It compiles fine so compiled to DSK1.TEST. So how do I convert this to a program and run it? I would prefer to create program files that can be used with just TIPI, I think that is an EA5 file?

So, since TIPI automatically converts disk images to folders, I only have FIAD directories?

I keep seeing the term FIAD folder. What does this mean. Are there different types of folders?

I downloaded the zip file and copied the files to my TIPI in directory TP3. Setting TP3 to DSK1, I am finally able to run TurboPasc99! I can even run it from the TIPI using CALL TIPI("DSK1.TP3"). i think the issue with using the disk images for TP99V2 was that the TP2 file was written as a VAR/80 file instead of a PROGRAM file. I did also upgrade the TIPI to version 2.7 yesterday also. Don't know if that fixed something. Now on with learning to use it.

Got mine. Thanks!

Interesting article. If he had his scope on the same setting each time, it looks like the frequency was too high before he changed the crystal. It is about 3 divisions to start and about 3.3 after the crystal change.

So could this be fixed with a crystal change without affecting the rest of the computer?

None of my old 4:3 aspect monitors have anything other than VGA.

Don’t know why it would’ve give color. Maybe yours is defective. I am playing the King scenario.

I got it from eBay. Whoever made it wasn’t proud enough to put their name on it. It looks like the same one that Walmart has.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and just got around to trying it out. I had been using my TI with a 10.1” security monitor because it had an AV input. That was good for testing, but kind of hard on my old eyes. Tonight I decided to try out the AV2VGA with an old VGA monitor. The first picture is from the security monitor, the others from the VGA monitor. Not a bad result for a device that cost less than fifteen dollars. The dark spot near the center is from the monitor.

None of the disk managers seem to see the TIPI. Is this normal? I was able to load and save TOD, so I know they can be accessed.

I was able to start King, created a new dungeon aNd party of characters. Bought equipment and food. Wasn’t able to move party, but somehow saved the game. I need to find instructions.

Thanks!
