Kyle22 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 @tschak909 I am very forgetful. Sorry if I ask more than once. I am a scatterbrain. I don't mean to offend you. I hook it it up to a 1200XL w/ SIO resistor fix ONLY. Rest is stock. I get Fortress to boot from TNFS server Ras Pi. 64GB card. Direct cable plug in to WRT1900AC. I used a Win 10 machine to D/L the latest firmware. It looked like it worked. I still can not boot MOST things I try. This thing really SUX at this point. I KNOW it can be better. Fortress will not boot again. Very un-reliable at this point. NOT at all being negative, just Reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle22 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Link to DT80.CAR? I want to try this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 It's...out there. Thing is, the guy who currently owns the copyrights has resurfaced, and worked out a deal with Vintage Computer Center to sell the carts, and has explicitly asked not to trade ROM images. You can use DT80, or any other terminal program you wish to use (e.g. IceT). If you use IceT for example, you can jump into CP/M mode by setting 9600 baud, and typing ATCPM. One thing to understand: CP/M was made for many different computers and terminals. So the programs can output many different terminal codes. ICE-T is VT-100, and many of the programs in the big RunCPM archive are installed for VT-100, if you run DT-80, they will need to have the installer run again to re-install them for ADM-3A terminal type. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Yup, better off with ICE-T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Flickerterm is good. My main question is: "Will NZ-COM run on this?" NDRs, Aliases, Timestamps, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) @tschak909 Can you please point me in the direction of how to select which CP/M system it runs? I want 64 or 60K ZCPR3. Thanks. Edited March 1, 2021 by Kyle22 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make a feature to be able to select the one to run. -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 No choice of CP/M system yet? That's ok. I am NOT complaining. All I am asking is for you to research and lookup a full blown Z System. It is a Beautiful thing. Named Directories and Time / Date Stamps and much more. Z-System is Powerful. -K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Oh yes, am very familiar with ZCPR, was a big user BITD. it will just need somechanges as the CCP loader is statically built in to RunCPM. -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 One more thing: I can connect WiFi ONLY if I DON'T have the MicroSD card in. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thom, I used to have a TeleVideo multi user system. I modified the BIOS [on the server] to support 4 hard drives and patched the Z-System into the Satellites. That's what they called the diskless workstations. TS-802A. Looks like a typical TVI Terminal. Has High speed RS-422 port on back to connect to TS-806 or TS-816 file server. I also used to have a TS-803, TS-816... Sadly, many were lost in moves. Look for Blair Groves Missisauga, ON He is my friend from years ago. I gave him my work on the OS. -K P.S. He has a beautiful cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8guy Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 This isn't the perfect place to ask this question, but I can't think of anywhere else, so apologies. When running Wordstar on Fujinet, the backspace key does not work. Ctrl H does - to delete to the left. Is this normal Wordstar behaviour, I don't recall....? Backspace works fine in RunCPM so I don't think it's the emulator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 You may need to run WINSTALL to reconfigure your terminal. -Thom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
