[Techtoolslist] v6.1 dd image 9100a question

[Andrew Welburn]

The 9100 is not a script-based system. Disregard anything you learned about scripting on the 9010, it's not transferable. Would you try to load Mac programs on a PC? Same sort of analogy here, 9010 stuff is a totally different system, they don't share anything.

When you get a video card and keyboard, you will open up to the wonderful world of the TL/1 programming language which is far more powerful, and useful than any scripts :) 

Until then, do like I did for the first 4-5 years of being a 9100 owner, get trick with every function through the operators keypad.

Yes you can use your 6502 pod with it, the image contains all pod libraries and software needed for any pod to be used on the system.

It's an old but familiar piece of advice, but - read the manuals. Seriously do, you have to, to get your head round how it works, and how you can use it.

Enjoy!
