Hallo, I recently tried to hook up a DMP-130 to a standard PC, using a standard cable. It didn't work, but it took me a while to remember why. Wasn't there a...
Somewhere on the R/S USA site was the info on a switchable R/S - IBM cable they made. It explains the wires that need to be changed. Neil ... From: "Jan Vanden...
Hello Jan, You are right about a wire being moved and I think it is pin numbers 32 and/or 33 at the Centronics end of the cable that are important. I just...
... From: "yeffer50" <yeffer50@...> ... No, IBM screwed the whole I/O system up by changing everything. Up till then most people used the Centronics...
Hi, I posted the following to comp.sys.tandy, but I don't know if everyone here reads that, so here it is: I've got a bunch of old Montezuma Micro CP/M disks I...
Look at http://www.discover-net.net/~dmkeil/trs80/software/trs-dos.htm There is a Version 1.42 * Version 2.22 * Version 2.31 by Montezuma Micro file. In that...
Hi Kelly, Yes, that is the disk image I'm talking about. I've tried reading it with literally a dozen versions of MM CPM from David and Ira's sites. All I get...
I have a variety of hex editors. I also know how to manually interpret many disk structures. You know that there are usually directory entries, offsets to...

Would some kind soul take a minute & explain what the heck a "catweasel" is? First heard it here on TRS-80, but never anywhere else, before or since. And I do...
Thanks for the link and the explanation. I understand now, sort of. But in the compatibility list on that site, I see there's no mention of any Tandy / Radio...
You're right, it doesn't mention TRS. But from what I understand, people are able to right custom drivers for the Catweasel hardware and have been able to get...
I have an old 386 which has a 1.2Mb floppy and which works fine for everything except single density. It reads/writes Coco and Model III/IV disk OK. I run DOS...
This must be it: http://www.tim-mann.org/catweasel.html I'm a TRS-80 man since 1977. When did you guys get yours? TG [snip] Would some kind soul take a minute...
... Much later. I was first introduced to computers when my Dad brought home a C64 in '82. Then in '87 I bought a CoCo3. It wasn't until the mid '90s that I...
... I don't really know the relationship between the designers of Catweasel and Individual Computers, but the latter would have to be the *worst* marketer I've...
I got my first computer, the Model III with 16k and no drives in April, 1982. Cost $999 from a RS Computer Center in Philadelphia. I had nearly no idea what I...
Hi Mark, et al. I happen to have both the Catweasel card and a C-One which I bought through the local Australian dealer, no worries with either. The docs for...
Hi all, I've been thinking for a long time about putting together a older system of some parts I have left to be able to read my old Model I and III disks...
I'd say your 386 or 486 are most likely to have the best FDD controller for your old 5 1/4 drive. On the other hand, the P150 is the best for running Win95/98...
You also need to consider if you need to read or write single density (SD) disks. I have about 15 miscellaneous floppy controllers laying around. Of those, 3...
... Yeah, that pretty much explains why suits run most successful computer businesses. It's a different way of thinking many geeks can't or won't wrap their...
Hi all, Just found a nice working 4P with system disks / docs at a flea market. Been wanting a Model 3 or 4 for a few years to relive some of my past and...
Hi Steve, I prefer the method of writing .DSK files to actual 5 1/4" floppies. Get an old 360K 5 1/4" drive (they're always on eBay). Make sure it is a 360K...
Here it is. I have no help file or whatever; I do not utilize the 'save these rules' option. Instead, just enter T and 1D each use. To copy to MSDOS disk, I do...

Thanks to all for the help! Found a Panasonic 360k 5.25" drive and a floppy drive card edge cable for $1 each yesterday at an electronics swap. That's cheap...
