atrax27407 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Does anyone have the GK files for this version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The zip contains the grom images, but not in gk setup.. I believe I have them somewhere I'll look when I get home . Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks. The current version has never worked satisfactorily on my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks. The current version has never worked satisfactorily on my system. How come you are not using RXB 2015E? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 I posted a message on the RXB thread about a year ago explaining that RXB2015E generates a syntax error message when it first boots. I suspect that it has issues with the GROM0 that I am using in my HSGPL Card. It also causes strange behavior with the "query" program with syntax errors and other strange behavior. For example the latest is that it showed an AMS Card with 1152K of memory - not possible and then exited with a "No AMS found" error. Since the "query" program tests a series of specific memory locations in the SAMSwith LOADS and PEEKS and doesn't actually test the integrity of the card, it is not necessary for me to use it. The last stable version that I had was RXB2011/REA2012 but I can't find my copy of it to re-install in my HSGPL Card. I will have to do without until I find a copy - the version that boots the menu.

Here's what I did (since i can't find my copy) load classic99, load that version, load csave..copy files that are saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 That doesn't work. The version in Classic99 is 2015E. I'll have to check some of the older versions of Classic99 and see if RXB2011/REA2012 is available in one of then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find the zip for the older ver of rxb on ftp.whtech.com it should have the classi99 files in it.. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'm now temporarily using RXB2001. Does anyone know how to convert the two 8K .bin files and the 40K .grm for Classic99 or PC99 to GK format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is odd as some people are using RXB with the HSGPL card including GAZOO was using it. He was running RXB 2012 / REA 2011 (by they way you have the dates backwards) Obviously either your HSGPL card or something you have loaded is an issue. I suspect the version of RXB loaded is corrupted. The RXB 2015 E version has a folder called RXB GRAM that has all the GRAM files and ROM files for running on a PGRAM, GRAMULATOR, GRAMKRACKER or HSGPL cards.

atrax27407 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 The files aren't corrupted. I get the same results when I use the files from two different sources. The last stable version that I had used was RXB2012/REA2011. I'll try this one and see if it is any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Rich, I just downloaded and installed the files from your last message. Same result - "syntax error message" at boot. Can you upload a copy of RXB2012/REA2011 if you have it. All I need is the GRAM files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK made them but never did this before as no one ever asked before: RXB 2012 GRAM&ROM.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Muchas gracias, Rich. That did the trick. I have the files copied in several places for the future. At least on my system, the "syntax error" message and strange behavior appeared when the "No Menu" files were created. RXB2015E works fine with Classic99 but when Mark Wills and I were thrashing TurboForth we found that Classic99 was not the same as real iron. Some things that worked in Classic99 crashed real gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the NO MENU was a bad idea from the start which is why I was so resistant to it. I mean with the RXB menu you only have to press one key not to do the AUTO ALL DISK SEARCH FOR XB LOAD PROGRAM. How freaking hard is it to press the Spacebar after you already pressed a key for XB? Is that really that much effort? I do have the only XB with that feature and that might have been the protest. The difference in speed of LOAD was only 2 seconds difference in delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Did Gazoo get the chance to try 2015E and give you some feedback before his untimely demise? Yea he did. And he did make a couple of carts I think. From his input i streamlined the boot process and menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Ran into something very interesting with RXB on REAL IRON and PC99 on a IBM PC (386 Intel ) running Windows 95. I hooked up a RS232 Cable between them and was using PC99 RSECTOR and WSECTOR to transfer files. It occurred to me to use PC99 on the PC talking to the TI99/4A and RXB 2012 to interface one system to VIRTUALLY run CALL USER("RS232") What happens is anything you type into the host system via RS232 would tell the slave system to do. LOL a Virtual PC TI99/4A version of interface the two computers. I will have to make a video demo. This would be a hoot to watch one TI99/4A control another TI99/4A via RS232 as the link. Example: Slave system CALL USER("RS232") Host Master System OPEN #1:"RS232",OUTPUT PRINT #1:"CALL CAT(1)"&CHR$13) ! ENTER KEY Slave system Displays catalog of Disk Drive one on screen.

Only if you were using the Classic99 DSR. If you are testing disk things you should test with the TI DSR as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 No, no, disk DSR. I was not talking about DISK, just RS232? Do you mean no RS232 DSR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I was not talking about DISK, just RS232? Do you mean no RS232 DSR? I believe @Tursi was responding to an actual disk DSR comment by @atrax27407, not your RS232 post. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
