Opry99er Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 RUN "DSK1.XXX" Where XXX is your program name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiganderson Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 thank you very grateful for response so no generic type of thing like RUN "DSK1.FIRST" or something like that? just asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 thank you very grateful for response so no generic type of thing like RUN "DSK1.FIRST" or something like that? just asking No, look at the filenames on the disk to find what you want. Or run a generic loader program like BOOT or DM2K to catalog the disk and pick the program you want to load. Gazoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiganderson Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 thanks is there a "LIST" command that would show me the contents of the .dsk currently in the "machine" thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 thanks is there a "LIST" command that would show me the contents of the .dsk currently in the "machine" thanks Not in plain old vanilla Extended Basic. In Extended Basic v2.5 or v2.7 you can do a CALL CAT("DSK1.") to get a directory of the disk. I think RXB may also have a similar CALL, but I'm not certain.

sometimes99er Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 emulation via MESS .160 To look at the disks you may be able to use TIImageTool (Java) or perhaps TI99Dir (Windows). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 If you use the HFDC in MESS you can use CALL DIR(1). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdorman Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 If you use the HFDC in MESS you can use CALL DIR(1). I don't remember that! When I had my real hardware, I had 2 PEBs. The Geneve was with the Myarc HFDC. The TI was connected with a CorComp FDC. I may never have tested that with the TI. This will save me a lot of time in MESS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 As sometimes99 already suggested you should consider to download TIImageTool. This tool is particularly useful for MESS users because it makes working with images a lot easier (view files, copy between images, create new images, set up Geneve boot disks ...) - in my humble view as its author. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) CALL DIR(x) also for MyArc DDCC-1 and RXB CALL CAT(x) also for - aarhhhgg - I just do not remember /EDIT for the Atronic CPS-99? / Edited April 26, 2015 by schmitzi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Or use Fred Kaals TIDIR tool to see content of .dsk or nano-PEB CF Cards, very handy: http://www.ti99-geek.nl/Projects/ti99dir/Files/ti99dir55b.zip for MESS, see: www.globeron.com/freedownload/TI99EmulatorsMESS.mp4 http://www.globeron.com/freedownload/TI99EmulatorsMESS-part2.mp4 (for the Geneve 9640 TI mode) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
