"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 the loader designed for the target machine.
Some methods below already have a loader for TEENY built-in.
Loaders for all available platforms may be found 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)

Windows

Download one of the loaders 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. It's unknown 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.

Linux, MAC, *BSD, most any Unix

If your host pc is linux or macosx or freebsd or any *nix, you can use dlplus.
All of the loaders above are already bundled with this package, so you don't need to dlownload it seperately.

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

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.

Get TEENY.EXE from T2005.zip
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.
