The Tandy Portable Disk Drive is a floppy drive that connects to a Model T via the serial port.
There have been many TPDD emulators over the years starting all the way back when the TPDD itself was still current and running on platforms that are obsolete now. A full list including all the old ones would be interesting to compile in one spot just to see. This is just a few that are currently still developed, or at least usable on current systems.
| Name | Platform | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| LaddieCon | Windows | |
| LaddieAlpha | .NET | Windows, OSX, Linux. Possibly others like FreeBSD if they have Mono or can run linux's Mono runtime. |
| mComm | Windows, Android, Python | Seperate versions for Windows, Android and Python. The Windows and Android versions include bootstrapers. The Python version can run on any platform that has Python. The python version does not include a bootstrapper. |
| dl2 | posix | Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, Windows via Cygwin or MSYS2, and probably any other unix-like os. Includes a bootstrapper. Forked from dlplus. |
| PDDuino | Arduino | Includes a bootstrapper. |
| Backpack Drive | hardware device | Includes a bootstrapper. |
| Old / Other | ||
| PDE | MS-DOS | |
| DeskLink | MS-DOS | |
| WP2DOS | MS-DOS | TPDD emulator plus utility to convert WP-2 documents to more standard formats. |
| Portcomm | MS-DOS | TPDD emulator sold by Club 100. |
| M100COM | MS-DOS | TPDD emulator written in QuickBASIC |
| FB100 Emulator | Windows | Targeted for knitting machine users |
Handy dosbox commandline to run MS-DOS apps on Linux in the current directory with COM1 connected to a serial port like /dev/ttyUSB0
dosbox -c "serial1 directserial realport:ttyUSB0" .
Example:
$ wget https://github.com/LivingM100SIG/Living_M100SIG/raw/main/M100SIG/Lib-09-PERIFERALS/PDE.EXE $ dosbox -c "serial1 directserial realport:ttyUSB0" . C:>pde 1
