Now if I recall this right I have to save the state before doing any of this, have say egames.dsk in drive two and state 1 before starting fid.

  Hi,

  The Echocric.dsk training disk gives more complete instructions in lesson 9, but briefly, from within Braille Edit:

  1. From Starting menu, hit Q to quit.

  2. Type BRUN FID and press Return.

  3. From the menu, hit 1 to copy files, and hit enter.

  4. Answer the questions. Source slot: 6, source drive: 1, destination slot: 6, destination drive: 2. Filename, you'll want to copy both textalker.ram and textalker.ram.obj, so you'll need to do two copy operations, the second time around, it won't ask for slot and drive.


  Note that when you copy textalker.ram, it'll complain about that file already existing. Just hit Return to replace it, if it says the file is locked, you'll have to unlock it first, but don't just go and unlock the file, that would unlock it on disk 1, which isn't what you want!

  Note that there might not be enough room for both the newer textalker.obj and the older textalker.ram.obj, so you'll need to delete textalker.obj first if that's the case.

  Before unlocking or deleting, use the option in FID to reset slot and drive. Then, when you select to unlock or delete, it'll ask for the slot and drive, and you answer slot 6, drive 2. You'll probably want to reset slot and drive again before copying again.

  When done with FID, select Quit, option 9 from the menu.

  Hope that helps.
  Jayson

      Hi,

      It seems you're having trouble with the command line. Maybe the following audio demonstrations will help.

      Launching Apple IIe Emulator demo http://boo.fm/b1585373
      Using Save States on Apple IIe Emulator, part 1 http://boo.fm/b1586272
      Using Save States on Apple IIe Emulator, Part 2 http://boo.fm/b1586284

      Hope that helped!

        And I followed the steps to put another disk in drive two, and ya can correct me with the right commands. While I have the first disk running in drive one, I then typed c:\mess apple2ee -flop2 disks\brlboot.dsk -state 2 5, and it didn't work when I went to catalog drive 2.

          You should have. There'll be one beep when the computer first boots up, then about ten seconds later, a second beep. Enter MESS at this second beep and press Return.

              There isn't supposed to be. When it beeps, type mess and press return. You should get speech.

                  Hi,

                  You probably want to download the newest package then. Visit http://onj.me/apple2e and click on the appropriate package, Windows or Mac. Note that the Readme is now an HTML document allowing for heading navigation.

                      Hi,

                      You should have it. If you've downloaded the newest emulator package, brlboot.dsk is in there. Just use FID to copy the Textalker files to another disk.

                          Hi,

                          The oldest Textalker I know about is probably the one that's on brlboot.dsk as part of Braille Edit.
