August 3, 2010 – Broader Net

If you were the author, and are the copyright holder, of TRS-80 software and would like to give me permission to post your stuff, please email me.

Who knew that the anniversary of the TRS-80 would be the day where some downloads came back online.

August 3, 2010 – Wired.com story

Since today is the anniversary date of the TRS-80 launch, wired.com has done a story which is on their front page today. The article is here. Wish they would have consulted with me first, since they mis-attribute the historical accounts to me when I didn’t say them (lord knows who did). I am embarrased I didn’t realize it was the anniversary though :)

August 3, 2010 – New Downloads (Scott Adams)

Vernon Hester’s downloads are live (so when doing an archive search you will get hotlinks with the findings). Since Scott Adams had long ago (and also today) allowed me to post his adventures, those links will go live tonight as well. If I can think of other authors who have authorized release, I will move those files over as well.

by @ 12:33 pm. Filed under Downloads, MultiDOS, Software Manual, Vernon B Hester


August 2, 2010 – New Downloads thanks to Vernon B Hester

Vernon B. Hester, author of MultiDOS and other wonderful programs, has made his software and manuals available:

Astrocal Manual (5th Edition) – DOC Format
Astrocal Manual (5th Edition) – PDF Format
MultiDOS Manual – DOC Format
MultiDOS Manual – PDF Format
Zeus (9th Edition) – DOC Format
Zeus (9th Edition) – PDF Format

When my host fixes my SQL upload, and I can get into the TRS-80 Archive Lookup, I will post the corresponding software packages here for download.

Also as previously noted, Vernon has a blown Model 4 power supply, which is preventing him from providing updated software. Any help is appreciated.

July 31, 2010 – Need Model 4 Power Supply

Vernon Hester, who wrote MultiDOS and a few other programs, had been updating his programs and DOSes. Vernon was in the process of updating a few more items, and getting together a real copy of the last Model I single density MultiDOS, when his Model 4 power supply went out. Does anyone out there have a source for a Model 4 power supply for Vernon? Thanks

July 20, 2010 – TRS-80 Virtual Floppy Disk Manager Updated

July 20, 2010 – TRS-80 Virtual Floppy Disk Manager Updated


Miguel Dutra has released v0.6 of his Command Line version of his Virtual Disk Manager utility for Windows. This is a small utility which allows you to access virtual TRS-80 disks at a file level, as if they were normal PC disks.

It appears that this utility can read all known TRS-80 DOS’s except for (1) CPM and (2) anything made by Percom.

Explanations and the program can be found on Miguel’s web site, on the DSK and DMK Image Utilities page, or HERE.

The new version brings:

* Write-capable
* Fixed a bug which caused it to read an invalid sector when the file size exceeded one disk track.
