I would like a dump.. if it's a rom cart that's pretty easy to do, esp if you have a tipi lmk if you have one and can dump it

Looks like it was possibly shared in the past.  I wonder if anyone might still have the "dbt.zip" file sitting in your archives.

Seriously.  I have been using other clever and unnecessary methods to move to a new line.

Here's a Beyond Word Writer file I found in my archives. It may have been converted from CRU to normal bank switching (I haven't tested it).

seems to work fine in classic99

 

[HOME AUTOMATION]

I noticed that as well, than thought, maybe Classic99 supports CRU, switching. So I checked and couldn't find any >6002 addresses, on any word boundaries.

 

I don't have any real hardware here anymore.

Classic99 supports CRU switching up to 64k. It doesn't have a separate mode for it, it's piggybacked on the normal 8/9 modes.

Huh... if this file is a CRU-banking binary, then it should be able to load into a Super Space II cartridge.  So happens I have one.  Also so happens that I am about eight hours from losing power

Hi, just wondering what you'd recommend for an entry level, but still decent word processing program that I can use that is either on cartridge (but my Ti is unexpanded, no disk drive, etc.. just bare bones)

or use via tape drive.

Any suggestions here?

In theory, a word processor could be written using the jailbreak method to start up an assembly language word processor that runs in 40 columns. No cartridge required; this would need nothing more than a console and tape player. You would load the program from the tape player, and then load or create the document, which can then be saved to tape when desired. As a rough estimate, it might use about 5K for the program (depending on the bells and whistles), which would leave about 8K for the document. (About 3 or 4 pages)

As far as I know, this does not exist, but it should be possible.

The fly in the ointment is that a bare console has no way to send text to a printer. That requires some kind of expansion system, although I understand there was a cart that could send text to a printer.

[+FarmerPotato]

@senior_falconThe solution was Joytalk. John Clulow I think. Published in magazine (which?)  as "Joytalk is cheap". 
 

The joystick port (and cassette?) is then used to send output to a printer.

True, but with the jailbreak from TI BASIC, whatever could be done with the MiniMemory could be done here.

 

Considering the era, a number of cheap side-port PIO interfaces were made available to be used in lieu of a full expansion system.  It is reasonable to assume that a TI BASIC jailbreak word processor could avail itself of one of those, and coexist contemporarily.

Yes, I too may be losing power in that time frame. The eye will be passing somewhere in my area. I'll be working on the interstate looking for problems, helping people.

Stay safe out there.  Since I no longer work for emergency management, I ain't got shyte I have to do, but I will be out tomorrow helping clean up the neighborhood and surrounding streets and at some point will be checking up on customer sites.  Got all my batteries charged and these Ryobi chainsaws work great for this kind of work.  I expect to have to pull out the generator in the morning, so it is sitting right by the garage back door.  I am looking forward to a small apocalypse to change the pace.

Here's a tested version of the Beyond Wordwriter cartridge that uses standard bank-switched mode (no more CRU switching). With thanks to @PeteE for making the conversion four years ago. I pulled the original thread forward as well, since it has a lot of data concerning several of the DBT CRU-switched cartridges.

Oops. But to load the software you have to have a disk system, unless someone else loads it up on a Supercart for you. My bad..

This video version can save to disk. The basic snp saved to Supercart ram pages
