ACML Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I've attached a disk image with Turbo Basic XL version 2.0 and 2.1. The problem is I can't firgure out how to remove the TBASIC2.COM and TBASIC21.COM files from the disk to a DOS 2.0/MYDOS disk.

+Larry Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I don't believe that I'd ever heard of these two variants of Turbo Basic/TBXL. There was TB800 -- aka Frost Basic which is "blended" with Atari Dos 2.0, TB32Q which is the same thing, but stripped so that it can be used with Sparta and a few other Dos versions with a low LOMEM. (For instance, some 3.x versions of MyDos can use this one.) Are there any other docs or background on 2.0/2.1? This is a nice find! -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think they provide some kind of turbo cassette support if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 No problem. I just copied them using the DOS 4 on the disk and the "H:" drive in Altirra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillC Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ooh! I never knew about TB32Q! Thanks, Larry! -SteveS In case you're looking for it I found TB32Q.ARC on the Pigwa FTP site a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8isa1 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 In case you're looking for it I found TB32Q.ARC on the Pigwa FTP site a while back. Thanks, Bill. I have Holmes collection from way back but I didn't know to look for TB32Q until now. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Bewedos. I love it when I find a new thing for the old 800, even when the new thing itself is old. Not to be this time. I learned of FrOst BASIC only a few years ago but being tied to DOS 2.x makes it somewhat inconvenient. -SteveS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
