Re: Who Is Using Scheme? For What?
>Question: Does the TI PC-SCHEME work on Zenith Z-100s
running MSDOS version 2?
Sorry, but PCS doesn't due to the Zenith Z-100 not having a BIOS (in the
I/O areas) similar enough to the IBM-PC (TI's is close, just moves the
vectors around and sometimes expects arguments in different registers) .
Most everything on this Zenith model, as I understand it, uses ESCape
sequences to hand screen functions as well as some keyboard functions.
It would entail some major work to modify the current PCS to work on the
Z-100. As an employee of Texas Instruments I have looked into this
problem and found no quick or painless way around the Z-100.
