Someone posted on the retrobits podcast forums ( retrobits.petscii.com ) that the Ohio State University is having an auction and that they list TRS-80's...
Not much info, but I assume Model 1s 69 Listed (12) Computers, Radio Shack TRS-80 Bid Per Piece Tag Nos: 0075879, 0075880, 0031124, 0074362, 0074368, 0072702,...
Thanks for the auction notice, Doug. Actually, it's Cleveland State that's having the liquidation on May 8. I looked at the auction list and there are 12...
I see that we have at least one member, Doug McComber, running xtrs on a Mac. I'm partial to David Keil's emulator, but having to run Windows to do it is extra...
Mark, To start with, you need to install the developer package(s) from the OS X DVD. This will give you GCC and other goodies you need to compile Xtrs. I...
Howard's correct. You need Apple's Developer Tools (xcode). This may be included in a CD if your version of OS X is older or you will have to download it...
This may be slightly off topic but I am trying to find a usable Prom programmer and software to burn 74S387 and similar proms. I have several programmers now...
I have a Willem programmer. It will NOT DO PROMS! It only does Eproms and Pic's. I need a PROM programmer not an eprom programmer. I need to be able to...
Then I would try the sci.electronics.* newsgroups, since PROM burners are not common, and not used with TRS-80 AFAIK. I also note "Andromeda Research...
Hi I have had similar problems. I now have a DataIO series 22 and it can do PROMs though I don't have the list here so I wouldn't know precisely if it can do...
I recently acquired a newer model 4 but when powered up it initially did nothing. When I opened it up the system would look at the floppy drive. I now have...
... I believe the Model 4 Technical Reference Manual on www.trs-80.com has schematics. Last time I powered-up my 4P the sync was way off and I had to adjust a ...
Hi Jim, By "newer" , I assume you mean Gate Array Model 4? Ira's site does have several versions of schematics for the Model 4. The largest file contains docs...
Given the likely age of the unit, I would start by pulling all of the connectors, then plugging them back in. Mold can actually grow in the connectors, and...
Hi ... I would use some contact cleaner on the connectors and potmeters too, when I have it open anyway. ... The easiest way to get into model III mode is to...
Hallo, Crazy, they're also getting rid of a HP LJ 2200 DTN, a fine networkprinter. And Apple i-macs and E-macs. There is absolutely not a trace of rule there ...
A recent visit to Ira's site almost brought me to tears. All of the books, programs, OS's, etc. that I have been meaning to download have been removed. I...
... A big thank you to Ira for his big contribution up until now. I will really miss his archive, especially the documentation. The best thing would be if...
Hi, Some years ago I downloaded most of the magazines, loads of Model I and III software and books from Ira's site. I burned it all on CDs. It's certainly not...
I have space on a server and can host the archive if need be. I was in communication with Ira, but I am in the midst of putting together my TRS 80 30th ...
... I can't speak for Ira, but I was talking to him (via AIM) when the DVDs closed out on eBay. It would be an understatement to say that he was very...
I am also willing to look into hosting a mirror...I tried contacting Ira, but got no response. Of course, he has no idea who I am so that's completely ...
Uh oh. I had sent him an e-mail asking him if I could get a copy of the software images to host for public download. Maybe that was a bad thing to do. I...
If anyone can find out for sure if he is offereing the stuff on DVD still, i know id be interested in getting a copy. I also only got a few things so as not to...
