TPDD client: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 00:43, 30 January 2024

A "TPDD client", also usually called a DOS(note), is software that runs on the portable and can read and write files on a Tandy Portable Disk Drive or Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2, or any of their rebadged versions like Brother FB-100 and Purple Computing disk drive, or any "TPDD server", software which runs on a pc and emulates a TPDD.

To use a TPDD client with a real TPDD1 or TPDD2 drive, you need the special cable that came with the drive, or a new cable that has the same electronics inside.

To use a TPDD client with a TPDD emulator, you need a normal Model_T_Serial_Cable.

To run MS-DOS apps on Linux with DOS's COM1 connected to Linux's /dev/ttyUSB0, and DOS's C: drive mounted on the current directory:

 dosbox -c "serial1 directserial realport:ttyUSB0" .

Example:

 wget https://github.com/LivingM100SIG/Living_M100SIG/raw/main/M100SIG/Lib-09-PERIFERALS/PDD210.ZIP
 unzip PDD210.ZIP
 dosbox -c "serial1 directserial realport:ttyUSB0" .
