I did all of the commands from Goplat. Everything returns to device file not exist.
I just just the code in the program using the suggestion of Goplat and bsl. Here is what I type in the command prompt:

C:\Documents and Settings\David>cd C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\GetOS


C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\GetOS>getos copyFile /phx/TI-Nspire.tnc
/phx/documents/OS/TI-Nspire.tns


What do I put in the command prompt now?

I just discovered something. If there are any files under the Documents folder, the "send" option is disable in the menu option(can't click on it). When I don't have any files under the Documents folder, the "send" link is enabled even though I can't "send" anything. Any idea?

This may require a little more research , I may have the right idea here.
If they changed the directory from /phx/ to /phoenix/ , who knows what TI-Nspire.tnc was called on the prototype model..
I did notice a CAS+ on ebay, with the cdrom !!! - could the OS be on that ?



EDIT: from your last post: reset the calculator

The CD ROM only contains the software not the operating system.
I might be wrong. The only thing is to negotiate a price for the CD files to be sent over to us through the internet. That should be doable right? I'm sure the seller would be ecstatic if they make some money while not sending out any physical items.
Is there anything else that can be done to figure out the extension of the operating system at least?

Ndless patches navnet.dll to allow .. in file parameters (see ndless.install.setup.ConnectivitySetup.makePatchedNavnetLib()).
Shouldn't it also be done with this version of Computer Link?

Goplat, extended, or anyone one tells me how to incorporate the NDless code onto the Nspire link so that we can further proceed with getting the operating system out? Give me any command or program that you want me to run.

Computer Link 1.0 doesn't have NavNet.dll. The files that appear to serve the same purpose are PXConJNI.dll and pn-net.dll. Neither file has that check for "\.." and "/.." that Ndless patches out. So I really don't know what to do.

So, is there anything that can be done to make the project progress a little bit further? If it helps, on the portion of the about section in TI-CAS+ , it said that portion of the software licensed by Datalight Inc. libraries from www.zlib.net and expat.sourceforge.net
There's no OpenSSL in which version 1.2 has.
Also, is there a way to access PXConJNI.dll and pn-net.dll and analyze them?

Try this:


Code:
 
c:\> rename pn-net.dll           pn-net.dll.backup
c:\> rename patched-pn-net.dll   pn-net.dll

and run the tests yesterday. If this fails outright just delete the patched dll and rename your backup.
I included a ".." as part of the search pattern .

[attachment=3258:patch.zip]

Here is patch 2 for /phx/phoenix:
[attachment=3259:patch2-pn-net.zip]

Try this with the regular dll:
C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\GetOS>getos copyFile /phx/phoenix/install/TI-Nspire.tnc
/phx/documents/OS/TI-Nspire.tns

I just had a thought - on the normal CAS, the filesystem contains: /dev, /tmp, /phoenix, /documents, /logs, /widgets. (with lots of stuff under /phoenix)

What have we seen on the CAS+? /phx/tmp and /phx/documents. So maybe /phx is not the equivalent of the normal CAS's /phoenix, but rather of /. Could the OS be in /phx/phoenix?! Worth a try...

I guess anything is a try now. I just noticed the dll did not contain ".." which allows browsing,
so I put it in .
If you notice on the Datalight shell when you do a listing under /documents/ or /phoenix/ you don't
get a ".." only a "." and thats it for a listing, but under /documents/examples/ or /phoenix/syst/ you get ".",".." and all its files and subdirectories.
So if ".." is missing you only get the directories the dll gives you under /phx/ which are "documents" and "tmp",
thats why I overwrote "tmp" with "..\x00"
Lets see how this works out ????
Looking over the help files I think we can assume the file TI-Nspire.tnc is what we are looking for[used in example]
The link software does not recognize *.tno files , only *.tnc,*.tns

Has Ndless 2 been released to the public yet? If so, how can a copy be obtained? Otherwise, does anyone have a personal copy of OS 1.1 that they could email me? My email is dsheartboy@yahoo.com

Yes, i will email it to you, it is also available and other versions at <other places>. i wont post it on unitedti.org in case i get sued by TI, they are very strict on distributing copies of os1.1

and i wish ndless for os 2.0/2.1 would come out.

*puts the link away* Not here, please. –Weregoose

Sorry WEregoose is strict at handing out illicit stuff and i shouldn't have posted it. though i saw the link on <other forum> that should be removed

Well I am most certainly interested, as I just received my ti nspire touchpad yesterday (!!!) but unfortunately my only real coding experience is web based.... Any news on the chance of an OS 2.0 compatible version of ndless sneaking out soon?

Compatibility with OS 1.7 is on the way.
Compatibility with OS 2.0/2.1 is not planned yet.

os 1.7 compatibility is a big improvement, at least i won't have the os1.1 power management bug where you have to pull out the batteries every time you start it up and also i can continue programming in basic, v1.7 has the feature of typing a full stop in a program name which will bring up a menu. Eg: you have a few programs named: a.new, a.save, a.load, a.quit. During program execution when you type in a. the menu with new, save, load quit comes up.

Keep up the good work ExtendeD!!!

Man, I can't find the OS either. Can anyone email it to me?

OS 1.1 is not really that hard to find on the internet...

Just look around, the full version number is 1.1.9253.

The reason why this can't be distributed openly is that Texas Instruments send a DMCA to another TI Website over hosting this OS. I am sure the staff at United TI would not be too happy if they got a DMCA too over this (they have in the past over the signing keys, I believe).

Alright...What about a request for computer link 1.3? I can't seem to find that.
