I should also add that the floppy drive does kick into action. That is, I hear the familiar four whirrs. But it's like it cannot read anything. ... floppy ... ...
Well, I finally aquired a very nice Tandy Model 102 to complement the Model 100 I got from Rick Hanson at Club 100. I got this unit from eBay, and the bid was...
I see others beat me to the punch on the switch. Lowercase or (descending) characters were a common mod. You can check it out by looking inside the keyboard...
Don't know about the switches, but the keypad was an add-on at the time, and I <think> was standard on late-issue Model I's. As for the orange screen, that's...

There were CP/M boards made for the Model I. The "Omicron Mapper" was one I remember. I believe Lobo made one as well. I never had one myself. I was much more...
Al, You're absolutely right about Omicron producing the CP/M boards for the Model I and Model III. I'd forgotten about those; I never had one of those myself...
WOW!! It's nice to see people still using these old things, I got my Model I in my junior year in highschool (79-80) brand new from the Radio Shack computer...
Hallo, ... I do this once a year. But I'm running out of disk-drives. ... Printer isn't that iimportant. For listings, any character-printer will do. Find any...
Hi Jan and Chuck ... Use 3.5" drives instead. Works much better even with HD media. can be formatted with any format up to DSDD80 720K (SSSD35 is no problem)....
I think MultiDOS is the best OS every written for the Model I/III/IV computers. I think it's still being sold out there. It's worth it. Vernon Hester is an...
From memory: TRS-DOS 3.3 DoubleDOS NewDos 2.1 NewDos/80 3.0 DosPlus LDOS MultiDOS And that's all I remember... There was also a small version of MultiDos and I...
Hallo, ... I disagree. For me, NewDOS-80 v2.0 is the best. It has a very difficult command structure, but no other DOS offers that much possibilities. ... ...
... My favourite is absolutely DOSPLUS 3.5 and DOSPLUS IV 1.0 but I also use LDOS 5.3.1 and LS-DOS 6.3.1 I think it is nice that I can use (almost) the same...
... How do you add 3.5 drives? I thought you'd need the DD card. If you have step by steps or even a schematic I'd appreciate it ... Yes the software is on...
Hi One can install a 3.5 drive as drive 1 in a 4P; it works with LDOS. However, I have this question: Can SuperCross copy a text file from drive 0 (5.25-inch...

Questions, OK here we go: If I can figure out how to make the IDE interface Schematic for the Model 1 work, I'd like to set up an old fashioned dialup BBS...
Neil wrote: DOSPLUS. It was neat and straight forward. I agree; still like DOSPLUS 3.4 over TRSDOS or LDOS for the Models I/III. But they're all good, except...
Well ... I use 3.5" drives with all my TRS-80 machine. You don't need a DD card, a DD drive will do also SD (opposite is also typical). Most pc 3.5" drives are...
Wow then I know someone that will be happy if we manage to transfer the software. ... Usually cassettes can allways be recovered but it might be handiwork to...
Hi All, ... Only way to go these days, although with floppy drives heading towards extinction, a solid state disk emulator is probably a good idea soon. ... ...
