A Model 3 and a Model 4 plus software are available for free but for local pickup only in Fort Worth Texas.

Both worked the last time they were used, current status unknown.

The donor is absolutely unwilling to ship (as she is elderly)

As always, first to email me will be sent to the donor, at which point I will strikeout this news item …

Email me if interested.

November 6, 2009 – New TRS-80 Emulator for PC/MAC


Mark Grebe has ported Tim Mann’s XTRS emulator for Macintosh OSX, Windows, and Linux. While it is always good to have a new emulator on the scene, this is big news for those MAC users out there, as there has not been a workable TRS-80 emulator for the MAC in many years.

As many know, Tim Mann’s XTRS offers Model 1, 3, and 4/4P emulation, with cassette, 5″, 8″ and hard drive emulation. It emualtes sound, mouse, joystick, and printer, and can do data I/O between the emulator and the host operating system.

SDLTRS expands on this and adds:

  • Windows and Mac OS X support.
  • Fullscreen display.
  • Text based GUI on Windows and Linux, and in Fullscreen mode on the Macintosh.
  • Configuration files.
  • Disk LED Indicators on screen.
  • Creation of Disk images inside of the program.
  • Saving and loading of disk sets.
  • Saving and loading of emualtor state.
  • Copy and Paste of text to/from host and emulator.
  • USB Joystick support.

The MAC version also adds

  • Graphical interface, include Media management with graphical representation of the disk drives and cassette.
  • Printer emulation of Epson FX-80 and CGP-115 Plotter/Printer, with output to PDF files.
  • Debugger in seperate program window.

SDLTRS can be downloaded via the SDLTRS Web Page or from the emulator web page.
