Toshiba T250

[Arn_K]

Hi everyone, It´s nice to see that more people are working on Toshiba T200 and T250 computers :D

I have had a T200 for about 6 or 7 years and I haven´t been able to make a working boot disk, and after seeing this post I decided I want to give it another go.

Could you guys share some details on how you made the boot disks and where to find the disk images?

Thanks in advance

Sure. I can make you a boot disk, or supply an image. I have a working machine here.

I would like to try to make my own disks, I have tried using imagedisk and teledisk under MS-DOS with a .IMD and .td0 file but they both didn't work.

Teledisk seems to write the disk just fine but when using it in the Toshiba I get a “wrong disk” error.

imagedisk just imidiatly errors out when trying to write the floppy.

Is there a program you could recommend for writing these types of disks?
And would you have a link to a site where I can download a disk image?

Hopefully the images I provided help - I'm happy to make disks for anyone that needs them. I have both T200 and T250 machines.

And since it has been about 45 years since I first saw these machines, I thought I would give a try making a mame version of the T-250 and T-200. Only took a few hours, thanks to the absolutely stellar work mame has done over the years! If anyone wants a copy of the source, let me know please - only about 1,000 lines of code.
