So... What if a GROM socket is mounted, an Editor Assembler GROM is plugged in and the EPROM is changed out for an EEPROM like this one? http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/CAT28C513-D.PDF Then what do you have?

Thanks! This works and is small and easy to use.

Ah ha! I had that but it still had the &^$%@##@^# copy protection! I couldn't get it back on a real disk because of that! Thank you thank you thank you!

RXB is nice, but I don't have an RXB cartridge, and I also don't always need all the extra features, and there is no way I know of to load RXB in RAM. I was just looking for a way to have a resident dir or cat command with XB that I could load from disk. There is some software I have that is called Disk Manager IV from Quality 99 software that does exactly what I want, but even though I have a working image in PC99 format, it is copy protected and I can't seem to figure out a way to get it back on a physical disk, so now I can only use it with emulation. One day I would like to get an RXB cartridge though, too.

That is all very nice, but I just want a way to soft load from disk a dir or cat sub program or something like CALL LINK("CAT",1).

I have a question, I have a TI99/4a with the Extended BASIC, Editor Assembler, and Disk Manager cartridges, is there a way to load the CALL CAT subprogram piece of RXB from disk so it can stay resident in TI XB?

Can someone post a copy of this zip file? http://nouspikel.group.shef.ac.uk/ti99/vdm99.zip seems to just hang forever and never download.
