Well, here is a text editor that *does* work on the Tandy 1000!

Calvin 2.4, previously "free vi", for 8088+ msdos. Or as the man page calls it, MS-Dog. 😉

I don't have a lot to say here, it's a classic vi clone. This is a very love it or hate it thing. Seems like it understands the T1000 keyboard, which is useful to me.

So, to get the 8086 version of the Aurora text editor, unzip auror30c.zip, then unzip aur86_30c.zip on top of it.

Run a86. This is an installer and compiler to build the editor for your machine. This takes a long time on an 8088....

After installing, run a.exe....

And discover it just hangs forever on a Tandy 1000. 😭

I was hoping to show off another text editor but I guess not...

New video: TND232 Tandy Serial Port Soundcard

The Tandy 1000 and IBM PC Jr utilized the cheap Texas Instriuments SN76489 programmable sound generator. While it never caught on as a sound standard outside of these machines, many DOS games from the 1980s still supported this chip. What if you wanted to listen to video game music using the original chip, no emulation, but you had only a serial or USB port?

Ok, finally finished backups of the pi3.

Filled up a 32 gig thumb drive! So much stuff!

Final step: backup of Tandy 1000 in progress.

I'm giving #EtherDFS a workout here. Exporting a directory of a fat32 thumb drive directly to the Tandy and the Tandy is making and writing zips to it!

Aha!

I'm running pc-compatible Deskmate 3.05 on my Tandy 1000 and I've always been confused about the lack of a 3-voice chip sound player when the #TVDog Deskmate archive at oldskool.org has a bunch of music files...

According to http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2024/07/tandy-deskmate-tandys-ace-in-hole.html
This is because generic DM 3 doesn't include the sound player, I need to grab it from DM 3.02 for the TL/SL!

In the Editor Wars front, I figured out how to make IBM E3 do word wrap.

Runs fine on my Tandy 1000SX!!

good, fast, excellent keyboard control.

Doesn't exit properly, gotta 3 finger salute to get out?..

I just stumbled upon this upgrade I would have leapt at a few years back when I was building up my "new" Tandy 1000HX:

Tandy 1000 EX/HX 3-in-1 V2 Adapter --- 640K RAM + 2x Serial + Parallel + XTIDE Upgrade by Rob Krenicki

https://www.ebay.com/itm/197473626636

It looks like the creator of this device, who posted the project to GitHub, has made his last production run, sadly. Several are available still on eBay.

It doesn't look like the RAM expansion has the DMA chip, but that really doesn't much matter. What a great unit. I upgraded my own 1000HX to this spec -- but did it the Hard way (note the capital H).

TIL...
I always thought the light pen port on the Tandy 1000 was for a barcode scanner like the Model 100, but it's not! It's actually for a light pen (imagine a mouse you held up to the screen to use.)

So, #RetroComputer peeps!

Yesterday I was playing 2600 #BattleZone and it's one of my favorite games. And I started wondering, is there a good Battlezone for #Tandy1000 ?

(Yes I grabbed the Atarisoft booter posted to archive.org yesterday I'm looking for something that can live on a hard drive and maybe has Tandy graphics and uses the 3 voice chip)

Weird Text editors on #Tandy1000

First we have a real antique! IBM's Personal E editor for the PC! This runs on MSDos 1 and came on a single sided disk! It still runs fine, but doesn't understand fancy dos features like directories... Also to insert a new line you have to press F9! 🤗

Second, the much newer IBM E version 3 for dos! Still nice and fast on the 1000. Apparently known as "E3", this, or a later version, was included with PCDos and another fork of E was the standard OS/2 editor.

Also tried #MicroWeb and it also works!

(This is crazy impressive not just because 8088 web browser but because my #Tandy1000 is a 1000SX - the last model of T1000 that has to steal its VRAM from the main 640K memory. That 16K the video hardware steals really hurts sometimes! )

Ok I'm impressed!
Finally trying mTCP on my Tandy 1000 and everything is working really well!

Even telnet just kinda worked with the somewhat funky Tandy keyboard.
No muss, no fuss, no defining scancode to ascii maps. I am impressed!!!

This is probably going to replace my collection of ancient ncsa & wattcp tools.

Last night my Tandy 1000's sweet Sony Trinitron monitor quit working. 😭😭

Because I'm me I had a NEC multisync sitting in my room doing nothing so I swapped it in and it's fine.

Not the same but fine.

I've had some success in fixing monitors before, so I'm definitely going to attempt to fix this Sony....

Last night I got #EtherDFS running between my #RasbperryPi3 and my #Tandy1000

The hardest part was a misunderstanding on my part. I thought the server wanted to export a virtual disk so I was trying to build one and then it didn't work.... Nope it'll export an ext2 directory just fine (with complaints about DOS file attributes).

Etherdfs is a network file system with a linux server and MSDOS client.

@paulrickards Nice. I got a 1000EX (in rough shape) off of eBay to get its RAM card to add to my 1000HX setup (which I found locally on Craigslist). I have an XTIDE and a serial card plugged in via a single ISA riser and an ISA cable. Works well.
