extrac21.zip also hangs #Tandy1000

Ill probably try it on #book8088 but im not very hopeful.😢

#DiskImage #DOS #MSDOS #VirtualDisk

Humm anyone have an #8086 program to extract files from msdos disk images?

Img2_0e.zip crashes on #Tandy1000 and produces corrupt files on my (v20) #Book8088

This is (working) twin.exe extracted by Mounting the disk image in linux and cp-ing the files, versus the same file extracted by img under dos. From the same set of images.

Much better!!!
#Gopherus 1.2.2 on #Tandy1000

copying downloaded software off 1.44meg floppies onto my ftp server for #Tandy1000 and #Book8088 access. (mirrored to a thumb drive for the book8088)

Really hating past-me's habit of just copying archives onto whatever disk had room for them. Spending more time organizing than reading disks!

only 1 disk error so far, unfortunately its a file I don't think I have any other copies of...

anyway i got almost half a box of disks uploaded. good enough for one night.

HRurmph

The fanciest printing I can get out of PipeDream 2 or First Choice is early laserjet (pcl).

My CUPS-lpr server doesn't have gpcl on it so no luck there.

Also, when told to print to a file, they both filter out all the escape codes! resulting in a flat text file. d00d i can do that with fold(1) and pr(1)!

Tandy 1000 has wattcp's lpr. Book 8088 has sneakernet!

#Tandy1000 #Book8088 #SuperCalc3

I don't know if anybody else is going to use dos SuperCalc3 in 2023?

But if you do... When told to save/load a file, it wants to look on all possible disk drives. This takes a long time to time out. I threw out an hour's work because I thought the book8088 had crashed so it got the 3 finger salute. 😐

tried again on the t1000 and it was just trying to read A:...

so, to save/load in sc3, specify full pathnames to avoid this.

The only one i have is pacgirla.exe by the same d00d apparently...

#Tandy1000 #LHX

I played this a lot back in 199x... On a VGA 386sx...

Kinda clunky on the 1000. The frame rate is a bit too low.

Anyone know someone with a Tandy 1000 RSX that would like to have the WDC Paradise Video Card for it? I have one for sale… https://www.ebay.com/itm/305009136052 #eBay via @eBay #Tandy #Tandy1000 #Tandy1000RSX

I'm thinking about different operating systems for the #Book8088 and Tandy 1000.

#DosPlus won't boot on the #Tandy1000 i guess the hardware isn't 5150 enough.
(Looks like it has its own BIOS instead of using the ROM)

Also I don't think it speaks hard drives at all so it's a non-starter on the book8088.

Twin spreadsheet on #Tandy1000

Naa they didn't copy anybody's look-n-feel... 🤗

Pc gopher 3 on #Tandy1000

Honestly it reminds me why I never really liked gopher.

Ok got the #Tandy1000 set up on my desk, all hooked up.

Setting up packet driver networking... tweeking #NCSA telnet's keymap to work with the #Tandy keyboard....

Sure I've done this before, I could restore an old backup, but where's the fun in that?

Just playin' a new game on m' #Tandy1000. In 2023.

#retrogaming

in other #8088 things I ordered (what I hope are) the correct battery connectors and will soon have all the parts to rebuild the #Tandy600 battery pack.

Also a lot of stuff that was on my desk is now in a box, hopefully making room for the #Tandy1000 to live there!

yet more #Tandy1000 games!

Rogue and simcity aren't copybroke. 😭 I'll have to get my other copies onto here...

Also PC joystick isn't great as a mouse... Or maybe this Tandy joystick is feeling its age...

More #Tandy1000 games

supercalc 3
first choice (one of the high school favorites but I never used it)

enough with the serious stuff where's my box of game disks?
