The following description addresses the usage of MESS starting from version 0.145u1.

Slot devices

The TI emulation makes use of "slot devices". These are devices that offer a slot into which another component can be plugged.

The Peripheral Expansion Box is modelled as a collection of expansion card slots. Thus, any device plugged into the PEB must be specified using a particular command line switch, or using the corresponding setting in a graphical frontend. An example could look like this: 

mess ti99_4a -cart1 extended_basic.rpk -peb:slot2 32kmem -peb:slot3 speech -peb:slot7 tirs232 -peb:slot8 hfdc -flop1 mydisk.dsk

This may look pretty long, but you can hide this in a script (batch) file. Also, the frontends like QMC2 allow for a set of options to be defined for each start.
