TPDD client:Teeny

"TEENY" is the tiniest "TPDD client" for Tandy and NEC portable computers.

Original Teeny documentation

There are several different ways to bootstrap it on to the portable. Here are a few examples. In all cases below except PDDuino, you will need this serial cable.

Linux, MAC, *BSD, most any Unix

If your host pc is linux or macosx or freebsd or any *nix, you can use "dlplus", which not only has a bootstrap function, but also comes with several TPDD client loaders including TEENY already bundled in.

git clone git@github.com:bkw777/dlplus.git
make clean all && sudo make install
dl -b=TEENY.100

Windows

First, download the appropriate teeny "loader" for the target machine from https://github.com/bkw777/dlplus/tree/master/clients/teeny

TEENY for TRS-80 Model 100 & TANDY Model 102

TEENY for TANDY Model 200

TEENY for NEC PC-8201 & PC-8300

TEENY for Olivetti M10

(There is no version for Kyotronic KC-85)

Next, copy the loader to the portable by the serial port and execute it. There are a few different ways to do this.
This PowerShell script does both at once, the same as the bootstrap function in dlplus above.

Other options for Windows

mComm for Windows includes a bootstrap function, but doesn't work on Windows10. I don't know what versions of Windows it works on or when it stopped working. Note, it runs, it just doesn't actually work, at least not the bootstrap function.

DOS

TEENY.EXE

Get the file TEENY.EXE from T2005.zip

Connect the serial cable

Run TEENY.EXE and follow it's prompts, and it will install TEENY onto the portable.

This only works for Model 100 or 102. TEENY.EXE does include a loader for model 200 also, but it has a typo!

LAPTAP

Get the approriate loader.do from the list above.
Then see using LAPTAP.

Android
