DISKON.BA LOADER FOR TS-DOS by Jim Gustafson January 24, 1992 This short Basic program was written to manage the memory situation when going between TS-DOS and the T102 MENU. I just got tired of manually resetting the memory each time I used TS-DOS. DISKON.BA automatically clears the correct amount of memory to run TS- DOS and then resets to maximize the T102 memory when you exit TS-DOS. This maximizes the T102 memory for other applications: like TEXT, BASIC, SCHEDL,ADDRS, or other Third Party Programs. In order to use this program, simply down load DISKON.DO and copy the four-line program (at the end of this file) into the paste buffer. Then go into BASIC and type NEW and then press ENTER. This initializes the BASIC memory area by clearing anything else that may be there. Press the PASTE key and you should see all four lines written into BASIC. Now press F3 and the words SAVE " should be seen. Simply type DISKON.BA" (DISKON.BA should have quotes around it) and press ENTER. This will save the program you have just entered. You can name it anything you wish, but you must name it with the extension .BA. Now exit BASIC and you should see DISKON.BA on the main menu. To use DISKON.BA, simply have TS-DOS loaded in your Tandy and highlight DISKON.BA and press ENTER. You would now be in the RAM part of TS-DOS and do everything you normally do in it. If there is a problem, like your PDD or PDD2 is not connected, the T102 will beep and you must press any key. When you are finished using TS-DOS just press F8 and DISKON.BA puts you back into the Tandy MENU with the memory reset.
