Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6091 (DISK DRIVE STARTUP)
some of the WordStar control key sequences work on your Model "T" -- Nope. Didn't know that. But I never used WordStar so never needed to know that. Thanks for confirming the TPDD and TPDD2 formats differ. Yes I have several utilities to copy boot disks, but I'm making boot disks ... you know, my own boot loader code in the boot sector of the diskette so it loads my own extensions to the M100 Op system when I type RUN"COM:98N1E<ENTER> Of course I can resort to FLOPPY2 and TS-DOS, but they consume too much precious memory and only provide disk file transfer service. For the same amount of memory, I get file archieve/compression of files in memory (equivalent to having more RAM) plus file transfer service to both diskette and Rampac. With this Op system extension, I can progressively shed these services to progressively gain more free memory when I'm in a pinch. Later, it's just RUN"COM:98N1E to get all service restored. Works for me.
