Put a new emulator on my radar today.

Enjoying trs80gp, an easy-to-use TRS-80 emu. Doesn't require installation, and drag'n'drop worked straight away. Within moments we were playing T80-FS1, Eliminator, Dancing Demon, Lunar Lander, and testing out DOS and BASIC. Love it!

 

Back when I was a kid I wanted a TRS-80 "anything", because RadioShack! And I loved the look of the Model III, like a small futuristic NASA MissionControl console. I was already deep into the Apple II, collecting software and books and literature and peripheral cards. But the '80 didn't have color graphics - something my grandparents were always quick to point out, saying I'd be bored and effectively refused to give me money toward it. So the Model I or III never happened. Let alone pipedreams of a Model II. But I did get into the Pocket Computer as a side companion to all my budding computer activities - because it was eminently more affordable than another desktop.

 

Today though I find the early models delectably vintage. Love that text terminal monochrome look!

Playing TRS-80 FS1, ported to Exidy Sorcerer, at the moment. Since Sorcerer has 30 lines of text vs. 16, the graphics are squashed. I'd like to try and fix that. Has anyone posted a disassembly?

I had a coco at home and the model 3 at school.. but the model 4 with its green screen and white case .. always wanted that !
