Subj: TS-DOS 200 TRICK

Joe:
        That trick you discovered about recovering from a cold start on a Model
100 equipped with TS-DOS on ROM is truly amazing!  Who says there ain't no
secrets left in the world.  Again, I am amazed!!  Such a useful tool is
absolutely undocumented in all the TS-DOS stuff I've reviewed.
 
        Recovery after a cold start was so easy and fast.  First, I equipped my
Model 200 with a TS-DOS ROM.  Next, I cold started bank #1.  Lastly, I went
into BASIC and issued the command  CALL921,2  and, within I would say, 3
seconds, the menu returned with a 16K file called RECOVR.DO.
 
        Now you've got my curiosity up.  I wonder if a similar feature remains
undocumented on the other Traveling Software ROMs that we carry.  Thanks
again... -Rick-
