Someone in the TRS-80 MC-10 camp found a bunch of new games for that computer, and as it turns out the developer Inufuto has made available versions for a long range of mainly Japanese home computers, but also some others: MSX, NEC PC-6001, PC-8001, PC-8801, PC-8001mkII, PC-8001mkIISR, Sharp MZ-80B, MZ-2200, MZ-1500, Sharp X1, Toshiba Pasopia 7, Fujitsu FM-7, Hitachi MB-6890, MB-6885 Jr, National/Panasonic JR-100, JR-200, Bandai RX-78, Sony SMC-777, Casio PV-1000, PV-2000, Casio FP-1100, Mitsubishi MULTI8, Sega SC-3000, Sega Master System, Sord M5, ZX Spectrum, Apple II, C64 Japan, VIC-1001, TRS-80 MC-10, TRS-80 CoCo Many of these models may be almost unheard of in the west, but at least some like MSX, Apple II, C64 (though Japanese version), VIC-20 (VIC-1001), the MC-10 and CoCo should be accessible natively.

Given the wide range of formats, most likely those are made with a cross compiler, perhaps CROSS-LIB or something similar?

Poor Man’s TPDD I previously started this as a post on the "TRS-80 Model 100/102/200, NEC 8201A/8300, Kyocera KC-85" Facebook page. I've decided to upload the instructions as single PDF file on this forum as it is a better platform to share this information and files. Note: There is at least one other example of this on the net. However, I found it after I made my prototype. Being retired and on a strict hobby budget, I decided that it would be great to have Portable Disk Drive to go with my TRS-80 Model 100. Unfortunately, most solutions were way over my current budget of zero dollars ($0.00). I rummaged through my inventory of items on hand and created a modern drive using a $10 Raspberry Pi Zero W (a gift) , a very old USB Serial Cable (thrift store), a “lipstick” style phone USB/recharge battery (another gift) , and a few other small items. Since, I already owned everything; I figured that a “headless” Pi should work. I set up the Pi using a fresh Raspberry Pi OS (no desktop). After enabling SSH, I created a share (TPDD) and passed over mComm (python version) from Kurt McCullum’s Club 100 Member Upload Library. I was able to easily get it running on the on the Pi using a TPDD shared folder. I added a switch to shut down the Pi when I didn’t need it. Next, I plugged in the USB Serial Cable and battery. It worked! mComm automatically starts when the Pi is turned on. I pass the M100 files to my Pi through the shared directory on my PC. The Pi’s microSD card will hold almost all the Model 100 files in the known universe. This works better than I could have imagined and meets my current budget of nearly 0(zero) dollars. I am compiling I've compiled the steps needed to set this up and will post them if there is an interest? If you don’t have the materials, this should set you back around $50 or less. (Note: I am not selling this item. I hope others may enjoy it as much as I have! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachments: The build guide: PoorMansTPDD.pdf Also: A ready to use collection of Club100 files (public domain files in the correct format for "mComm") for folks to test.

Hello friends! Does anyone know of an AV mod kit for the TRS-80 Coco 1? I am having a hard time tracking one down. I know some folks have done it without a kit, but at my skill level I feel much more comfortable using a kit. Background: I picked up a very nice Color Computer 1 yesterday, but upon connecting it to my TV I found that the RF output looks like garbage. I am not really picky about RF - most of my consoles are unmodified and I generally prefer it that way - but this looked bad. Kind of a moving reddish 'fog' over the green background with almost a flash every second or so. I cleaned the solder joints connected to the RF modulator as well as the plug-in itself but that did nothing. I tried a heavily shielded RF cable and saw no difference (not surprising- my consoles all do fine with this setup). I was able to make it look a lot better by adjusting the pots on the RF modulator, but I wasn't able to get it quite perfect. I suspect the modulator is going bad. I am aware of cocovga and I might go that route, but I want to make sure I am not missing an av mod kit that's out there. HDMI might also be a good output option if such a thing exists. Thanks for the help!

A big purchase (up there with my first used car) was a Tandy 1000 EX I bought when in high school. The local BBS scene was all about MSDOS systems, and my Model III wasn't getting much support anymore by 1987. RS always had great sales and I ended up purchasing mine for $600 along with a serial card for $80 and CM4 monitor on closeout for $100. For less than the normal $800 price, I had a nice IBM compatible setup and was going crazy with downloads. I soon added the Plus board for full 640K and the 3.5" external disk drive. One day a REALLY big local BBS showed up and it mirrored Rusty n Edie's BBS out of Ohio. If you don't know the story Google it. It was at that point I decided I needed a hard drive for all the sweet high end software and games rolling in every night. Unfortunately, RS didn't offer a hard drive kit for the EX, so I sold it and bought a 1000 SL with a 32mb hardcard. For some reason, I always regretted selling the EX. Been looking on/off for a few years now and recently noticed one on eBay with the 640K Plus card (rare and necessary) and a 300 baud internal modem. Put a bid in and got it for far less than I thought I would. Seller was one of those 2 sentence description guys with a few meh pictures, but it ended up being one of those way better than expected eBay experiences. Big box shows up, remove the brown paper wrap and it's in the original box. Open it up and it was like 1987 again; EX was in the original soft foam, all manuals on top and the disk folder containing the original DOS and DeskMate disks were inside. Pull the EX out and it looks like new! Boots up and works perfect. Took it apart and it was dust free, including the fan. The composite output on a TV looked just as bad as I remembered, so off to find a CGA monitor which is pretty much unobtainium these days. Ended up finding a very low hour Magnavox on FB marketplace for $100...more than I wanted to spend, but a really nice monitor that's a deluxe version of the 1084 or cm8833. Stereo speakers, small dot pitch and perfect convergence...far better than anything RS ever offered. ISA adapters were ordered from Australia. I suspected the EX was ISA pin compatible back in the day but couldn't source the connectors to try and build my own. Ordered a Blue Lava mini CF XT-IDE card off eBay (the item that makes it all worth it!). Also, after hours of searching, I found a monitor stand that can support a CRT and is similar to the RS original which allows access to the side disk drive. Just got it all set up. Still plan on replacing the internal modem with a serial card and buying an external wifi modem to give the internet BBS scene a try. No fugly yellowing here. ISA to Plus adapter is on the left. Blue Lave XT-IDE on right. I bought a 2GB Verbatim CF card on Amazon to replace the 64MB one that was included. 640K DMA memory expansion board on bottom, 300 baud modem in center and XT-IDE on top. Heck yeah! 1,997 MB hard drive on a 1000 EX! Awesome 16 color TGA graphics and sound.

I recently acquired a TRS-80 PC-2 Pocket Computer and cassette interface in good shape and it appears to be functioning correctly. The LCD screen works well and it appears to switch modes from PRO to RUN correctly. The computer also has an 8k expansion card in it and when I type MEM it typically reports that there is 24576 memory free. I am new to this line of pocket computers and have a few questions that I cant seem to resolve. Like I mentioned, the computer was reporting around 24576 memory but now only says 0. I have removed the batteries, push the reset button etc. but it continues to show 0 for memory and I do not know how to correct this or if I am just unaware of what to do? Also, even when it was showing the higher amount of memory available, I would switch to PRO mode to key in BASIC commands but it never seems to retain them. I would key in the line numbers with simple commands such as 10 PRINT "A" and then I would hit enter which should have placed the line in memory but it does not. I switch to RUN mode and type RUN but nothing happens. In PRO mode I try to use LIST or the up and down arrows to see the line numbers but nothing shows. Just curious if anyone can shed some light on these issues or have experienced them. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

TRS-80 Pocket Computer 1: Is there an archive out there, or does someone have copies of the old PC-1 software? I'm looking for text files and/or sound files, of the programmes that Radio Shack sold, back in the day. FYI:The PC-1 wasn't compatible with the PC-2. Thanks.

Wanted to let people know that I have completed typing and debugging a working version of the example program "Mazies & Crazies" from Frank DaCosta's book "Writing Adventure Programs on the TRS-80". Here is a link to my latest post on the project: http://jimgerrie.blogspot.com/2020/04/retrochallenge-april-2020-mazies_19.html It is my impression that this program does not exist in any playable form on any TRS-80 archive sites out there. Anyone know if other working versions exist? I read that a TI99 version of the program also exists. The source is on my github: https://github.com/jggames/trs80mc10/tree/master/quicktype/Dungeon/Mazies The TRS-80 version can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_3FddzKahUKnS5P5peXqqXwJTyej2b-g MAZIES can be played in the Javascript MC-10 Emulator here: http://faculty.cbu.ca/jgerrie/MC10/ Just select it from the "-Select Cassette-" menu and then type RUN and hit Enter. Thanks.

I'm looking for someone to do some repair work on a 1977/78 TRS-80 Model 1 (Level 1) and a Coleco Adam. The TRS-80 needs a key replaced (I have a spare keyboard to pull parts from) and has an issue with the video sync (I think). The Coleco Adam is having some power issues, but I think it's coming from the console itself as it won't power on when one or both of the cassette drives are plugged in, but the power light comes on when they're disconnected. It also has no video, as far as I can tell. I'm more flexible with the TRS-80, since I already have the motherboard removed from the cabinet and could easily ship that, but I'm hoping to find someone who already owns an Adam so I can ship just the console with the data drives installed. I do have a spare printer motherboard I could send as well if needed, though, but it would be more expensive. Anyway, if this sounds like something you could do, let me know and we can discuss pricing. Thanks!

I have several of the CoCo's but I always wanted an original model 1. Now, that dream is finally a reality. I also bought an original monitor that should be here in a couple weeks. Other than a Radio Shack cassette drive, what should I get next? I just want to play some old-school games and do a little BASIC programming. Suggestions appreciated!

Hi All, Looking for a little help from folks who are really good with circuits... I've had a TRS-80 Model III for a few decades. A bunch of keys on the keyboard stopped working, so I assumed they were dirty and went through the process of desoldering/cleaning/resoldering all of them, only to discover that the same keys still don't work. I then found the Model III service manual online, which has a diagram of the keyboard interface on the CPU board. See the attached PDF for the diagram. From the diagram, I discovered that lines 9, 10, and 15 account for all of the keys which do not work. So the problem is most likely on the CPU board and not the keyboard itself. The problem is, I'm no electrical engineer and I might be a bit out of my depth here. Looking at the diagram, it looks like each of those lines is connected to a resistor (RP5) and maybe a diode (D0A, D1A, etc.) but I don't know if I'm even reading that correctly. I can't really tell if those are all discrete components or if some of them are the same component shared by multiple lines, though. So I'm wondering which parts are likely the culprit here, and how I might locate them if I pull the CPU board from the computer. I tested the 20-pin ribbon cable end-to-end and it seems fine, so the issue isn't in the keyboard or it's connection. It definitely seems to be something on the CPU board based on this diagram. Thank you! trs80-model-3-keyboard-diagram.pdf

Hello! I have a TRS-80 Model III which I have been working on restoring for a while. Sadly, my flaky Model III TRSDOS disk has finally given up the ghost. Any chance someone out there can send me a working copy? PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

Finally picked up a FreHD for my Model III and it's definitely a slick piece of hardware. Right off it needed a case and the generic Chinese wall-wart needed to go. Decided I wanted something that would look period correct for a TRS-80. Set the Wayback machine to 1973 and picked up this nice case from Radio Shack. Used a cutting wheel on a Dremel for the SD slot and then finished with a file. The Read/Write/Power LED holes were done with a Whitney Punch and the holes covered from behind with a white translucent tape for a finished look. Also put a divider between the board LEDs so there's no light bleed between them. Added a nice Mean Well power supply and switched the line voltage so the power supply is dead when turned off...also used a grounded line cord. Really happy with how everything fit up just right. The face is pretty much a dead on match for the battleship grey and the black sides match the disk drives and keyboard. Originally I put in a blue LED for the power indicator but realized blue LEDs didn't exist until around 1990, so I put in a red one. And yes...you need a key to fire it up!
