Re: Setting up a TPDD

Bingo!

I got it! Well you guys got it for me.

I dug out some old DSDDs which were hiding in the dusty corner of my
computer desk (I didn't even know I had them anymore). Transfered over
DOS100.CO and DOS100.BA. Bada Bing Bada Boom formatted the disk and off we
go, a working TPDD drive.

I thank you all for helping me out on this.

Now I have one other question which ROM should I buy so I can properly use
my drive. TS-DOS vs Ultimate Rom. I'm leaning toward the Ultimate ROM myself
because other utilities (which I guess I just answered my question).
