If it helps, here are the scan codes for those two keys:

Re: Tandy Deskmate

Yes, I've had several Tandy 1000s and the F11 and F12 keys were very seldom used because of the non-standard key codes. For the most part, the Tandy keyboard was treated as an XT keyboard by software makers with the exception of Tandy themselves.

Re: Question about Tandy 1000 Sl/2

I don't think you can enable an external drive but you can enable an internal hard drive on the SL/2 using either XT-IDE or one of the 8-bit SCSI emulated cards that PC-EM supports. I use a Rancho RT1000B in mine and it works great.

Re: v17 on MacOS

I was able to compile v17 on Mac OS with no additional changes from the original instructions (I'm on OSX 10.14.6) but I've noticed that some of my machines now run dog slow. If I copy the pcem executable v16 back over everything runs normal again. It seems to affect the PMMX class machines.

Re: anyone interesting in doing a PCem driver collection?

Searching and downloading the driver without owning the hardware is technically 'illegal', it's just not enforced (nor can it be, really - doesn't mean some of these greedy ass companies haven't tried). I disagree with this statement. Unlike ROMS, firmware and such, drivers are usually made publicl...

Steps for installing and compiling PCem on Mac OS

I know there have been several threads regarding compiling PCem on MacOS and there are instructions on doing this spread out throughout the forums so I thought I would create a thread on the steps required to get PCem working on a clean Mac from start to finish. These steps have worked for me with P...

Re: v15 on macOS - fail to compile

In OS X off_t is already 64 bits so edit esdi_at.c and change the code from: #include <sys/types.h> #include "ibm.h" to: #include <sys/types.h> #define off64_t off_t #include "ibm.h" or alternatively to: #include <sys/types.h> typedef off_t off64_t; #include "ibm.h" .....

Re: A more powerful Tandy profile, please?

My question is, are there plans to add more powerful Tandy machines in the near future? I'm thinking of the Tandy 1000 TX (CPU 80286/8) or the 2500 SX (CPU 80386/25), for example. I don't know if their firmware is widely available, though. Is there an easy way to rip my TL/3 firmware without damagi...

Re: A more powerful Tandy profile, please?

BTW, the Tandy 1000 are not fully compatible with the IBM PCjr. They have the same architecture, but it's handled differently. See http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2012/06/ibm-pcjr-and-tandy-1000-games.html for details. Very true. I guess I should have said "As compatible as any other Tandy...

Re: A more powerful Tandy profile, please?

I've owned the Tandy 1000SX, TX, TL and TL/3 in my days and still have my Tandy 1000 TL/3 which is the last 286 version that had both Tandy graphics and Tandy enhanced sound (3 voice + white noise channel) and full backward-compatibility with the PC Jr. It had a 286/10 CPU and a built in XT-IDE cont...

Re: Tandy 1000 SL/2 Deskmate

Can anyone tell me if the actual Tandy keyboard is emulated when one of the Tandy machines is selected? I ask because I've noticed that in Deskmate the cursor (arrow) keys don't work nor does the F11 and F12 which is indicative of an XT keyboard codes being sent. This might affect some Tandy-specifi...

Re: Tandy 1000 SL/2 Deskmate

I’ve never had ay luck running Deskmate from ROM either but there are a couple of things you can try: 1) Locate the Tandy 1000 SL/2 setup.exe file (I think it is called SL2.EXE) and, after booting, run that and change the startup setting from DOS to Deskmate. That worked on my TL/3. Of course, if th...

Re: v13 released!

Maybe add a PCI network adapter that is PnP compatible. I can't get the NE2000 Compatible to work under OS/2 Warp.

Also, in Linux, is there any networking option other than SLiRP? When compiled with --enable-networking I don't see any other options and SLiRP doesn't seem to work for me.
