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 or Backpack, you will need this serial cable.

LOADERS

A "loader" is a BASIC program that creates a machine language program. The loader is necessary because it can be transferred over a serial connection.
In most cases to install TEENY you will first need to download one of the following loaders designed for the target platform.
Some things below already have a loader for TEENY built-in.
There are loaders for all platforms except KC-85 here: 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 at this time)

Linux, MAC, *BSD, most any Unix

If your host pc is linux or macosx or freebsd or any *nix, you can use dlplus, which has a bootstrap function, and is bundled with all the loaders already.

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

Windows

Download the appropriate loader from above.
Then use tsend to install it.

Other options for Windows

mComm for Windows includes a bootstrap function, and includes a TEENY installer built-in, 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

TEENY.EXE is a DOS executable that has loaders for Model 100 and 200 built-in, though the one for model 200 has a typo, so this actually only works for Model 100 & 102.

1) Get TEENY.EXE from T2005.zip 2) Connect the serial cable 3) Run TEENY.EXE and follow it's prompts, and it will install TEENY onto the portable.

LAPTAP

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

Android

mComm for Android has a bootstrap function and a TEENY loader build in.

Arduino

PDDuino
Use with one of the loaders above.

Backpack

Backpack Use with one of the loaders above.
