TIPI and TI-99/4A software incompatibilities

TIPI is about getting away from DISK images. As such it doesn't build file access from on top of disk image sector access.

As of July 2022, TIPI does support sector read/write routine 0x10.

They may be other compatibility issues and we should catalog them so they can be prioritized or at least avoided.

Known Issues:

Title	Usable	Issue, Notes or Workaround
Myarc Disk Manager 5	No	Only designed for Myarc disk controller anyway...
Disk Manager II	No	Only designed for TI Disk Memory System anyway. ( TI Floppy Disk Controller )
Microsoft Multiplan	Yes	Cannot save a file if one by the same name doesn't already exist - easy to workaround
INFOCOM games on whtech	Yes	workaround, run EA5 PROGRAM directly, skipping the XB LOAD program. Or use versions here: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/310193-lost-treasures-of-infocom-refresh

Former Issues that have been corrected

Title	Usable	Issue, Notes or Workaround
PLATO	No	requires disk image support
TI-Forth	No	requires disk image support
fb-Forth	Yes	TI-Forth block routines require disk image support. CAT routine requires sector io
TI Artist Plus	Yes	'Index' or directory cataloging uses Sector IO. Working with files by name works fine.
DM2K	Yes	Can browse directories and launch programs on TIPI. devicename, but cannot manage files. Use DSK0. or mapped drives for file management
Diskassembler (MDOS)	No	uses direct-input to read from file that hasn't been closed/written to filesystem yet, issue filed, it is fixable

Workarounds

Diskassembler works, but requires the PI.CONFIG setting EAGER_WRITE=true.
