Hi all,
Ok here are a *few* more questions about the bush STB
1) How do I use the in-built modem using the preloaded BBC basic?
is it something like open #1 as ????? as i need to do
ATD 123456 and then use the modem as a (dumb) terminal. TX and RX
I know you can do this from the testmenu but more is needed.
2) How can I save programs in basic? if I use save "xxx" then obvoiusly it
cannot as it is a rom
but where are the temp web pages held (scratchpad).
3) Where can I find a html help page for using RISCOS? as I cannot find
anything. I cannot understand the "odd" commands dir-change directory. . - dir?
===bizzare!
Also programming talking to system. Printer etc,etc.
4) I am getting a ZIP drive(!!!!). Now can I create a bootdisk from XP,98,95
or somewhere or should I use Linux? Also if I enable the zip drive I presume I
can then save my basic programs? but how then can I format them for use?
The box is going to be used as a dumb terminal connected to my PC via a
remote DOS command prompt
so I can run remote programs check emails etc.
5) Lastly if anyone has a spare box please let me know....
Thanks all
