Harry Potter Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Where can I find one? I have a program that can do the job, but I need to feed it one first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 ... Format a diskette using the floppy formatting cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Or use TIImageTool. (Sorry to repeat myself, but these are all things why I wrote it. You need a Java Runtime, but this should not be a problem.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Or Fred Kaal's TIDir - there are several that run in Windows that will format a blank TI .dsk file. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Do you mean hard disk or floppy disk ? Which size / format ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Floppy, all sizes, but a 40GB hard drive would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I did some work, sort and rename, and removed some struggle... optimized all folders... In this zip v3 is all what I actual have, including a "public" giveaway-folder with all examples 003-ALL-EMPTY-DISKS-TI-99-4A-V9T9-DSK-HFE-CF7--003.zip 003-ALL-EMPTY-DISKS-TI-99-4A-V9T9-DSK-HFE-CF7--003.zip xXx PS: I think the credit for the PCODE file in Folder 01 goes to @hloberg ? This is new and I was´t able to use it yet. Maybe we can have a link to the topic here ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is new and I was´t able to use it yet. Maybe we can have a link to the topic here ? I don't recognize this file but that doesn't mean I didn't create it. In any event it is useless if they were for the PCard blank disk. I would remove it. I'll create some useful Pcard disk for you but take a few days as I got to get the software out of mothballs. Pcard disk all have a file called PASCAL on them that the pcard sees and saves all files (kinda like how Forth does it). I'll create a few DSDD disk with that file and post them here.

+hloberg Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) here is a blank DSDD PASCAL disk ready to be used in the P-SYSTEM or with the P-CARD. if it throws a VIB warning, ignore it, it works. FYI: all the emulators to use these various disk are here at bottom of page marked MAME PACKAGES: https://ti99resources.wordpress.com/emulation/ BLANKDSDD.dsk Edited January 24, 2022 by hloberg 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pcard disk all have a file called PASCAL on them that the pcard sees and saves all files (kinda like how Forth does it). That's not true. Yes, there is a PASCAL file on the disk, but the p-system doesn't care about it. It will work the same if that file is called BASIC, or doesn't exist at all. The p-system does a sector access to its own directory on the disk, then use the information in that to do more sector accesses on the disk, to handle the p-system's files. The PASCAL file is there just to mark the disk as full, if you would use it in the standard operating system in the 99/4A. Otherwise you may mistake it for an empty disk, and erase everything. All p-systems, for various machines, usually leave the first sectors on a disk alone. They are reserved for a bootloader, that can start the system from scratch. It's not needed on the 99/4A, since that bootloader resides on the p-code card. By the way, you don't need any special p-system disks. You can take any disk and use the Filer's Zero command. That will install an empty p-system catalog on the disk. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
