    • April 11, 2001
  • Serge Lachance has released his Model I Emulator called Ti-RS-80 ... here's what he says
        I've been working on my emulator lately and I got a new version.
    It is still not supporting disk units, but has a nice windows interface, a very nice debugger with a one-line assembler.
    The window is resizable. The speed evaluation is based on the real timing of each Z80 instructions and is updated every second or less.
    It supports the original TRS-80 keyboard mapping or the windows keyboard settings mapping.

    It can work with or without ROM image.
    If there's a file "RomImage.mem" in the same directory as the emulator, it is loading it and using it.

    It can work in screen saver mode with an extension of ".SCR" or as an executable with an extension of ".EXE"
    In screen saver mode, the little preview screen works in the screen properties window.

  • Jonathan Berman has pointed out that Jeff Vavasour updated his Model I emulator to revision "F", fixing the speed problem and the rs-232 causing crashes problem.
  • For those of you not familiar with the GOODxxx tools, an individual named COWERING has written command line tools which rename roms/programs based upon their crc's. This is very useful for sorting out a messy colleciton. You may have seen discussions about the TOSEC databases for Model 1, 3, 4, and ORCH, but Cowering has written a GOOD utility for the COCO! Get it on the emulator page.

  • Well ... after 2 1/2 years I finally broke down and decided to replace my Dell XPS R450. I have ordered:
    CUSL2C, 400Watt Power Supply Full Tower (with extra Fan), 16X Pioneer DVD Player, 3 1/2" Floppy, and 1GHZ P3 from Monarch Computers [no tax];
    SoundBlaster Live 5.1, Keyboard, and Intellimouse from Buy.com [Free Shipping]
    Linksys BEFSR41 Router from Amazon.com [10% off and no tax, plus $30 rebate]
    Linksys 10/100 Network Card and 30GB IBM 75GXP 7200RPM ATA-100 Hard Drive from Buy.com [Free Shipping]
    256MB PC133 Memory from crucial.com (the only place I will buy RAM from)
    Since monitors, video cards and SCSI cards are too expensive, I am going to cannibalize those from the Dell for the time being.

  • Dave Keil has updated his coco emulator to v1.2. Download it from the Emulator page.
  • Nick Andrew is currently 'donating' 170 disk images to the archive. The first 57 DSK's have been received. I will be converting those as quickly as I can. There are also two other people out there, with 40 and 400 disks each, who I am speaking with. Let's keep our fingers crossed, and THANK YOU NICK!
    • March 8, 2001
  • Tim Mann has updated his XTRS emulator to v4.4. XTRS runs on the UNIX operating system. Download it from the Emulator page.
  • http://members.aol.com/trs80emul/ is no more ... farewell, old friend - whoever you were.
    • March 6, 2001
  • After 1,000,000 million requests from people, I am pleased to bring SPACE WARP online. We all have Dave Keil to thank for this, who had it on one of his disks.
    • March 5, 2001
  • I was trolling through the net (one day ...), and I came upon a discontinued Model I emulator. It is source code only, written in Acorn Desktop C. It is available on the emulator page.
    • March 1, 2001
  • RomCenter has support for the TRS-80 basic/cmd programs, courtesy of TOSEC. The programs can be found at http://www.romcenter.com/download.htm and the DAT files can be found at http://www.emuhq.com/tosec/dattable.htm. The Model 1 DAT file handles 3375 files, the Model 3 DAT file handles 1112 files, and the Model 4 DAT file handles 1212 files. RomDoctor, which is a TOSEC product, will not support these models as RomDoctor supports renaming of the underlying file, which would make running the programs impossible as the long filenames don't quite work under NewDos/80. RomCenter will merely audit your trs-80 library.
  • Dave Keil has updated his COCO II emulator to v1.10. He also has uploaded a number of COCO Cartridges. Find the emulator on the Emulator page.
  • I finished the 5.25's from the most recent batch! There are still plenty more unsorted to go ...

  • For those of you in the general emulation community, please keep in mind that all your TRS-80 are belong to us.
  • The old netcom servers seem to be back again. Earthlink has the audacity to charge a setup fee for doing them the favor of relocating from their legacy servers to their current ones. Needless to say, I have no intention of letting them charge that.
  • The old netcom servers seem REAL slow ... I think I am going to put in the order to move the site today.

  • The next casualty is the message board. I got this today ... 
    
	Dear InsideTheWeb message board owner,

	Since January 1997, InsideTheWeb has provided free message boards to online
	communities. Our goal has always been to offer an easy-to-use and
	technically superior format for threaded discussions. Though we have hit a
	few bumps along the way, we feel we have succeeded in that ideal.

	As some of you may know, internet advertising revenues have fallen to
	extremely low levels over the past several months. Supporting a community
	service such as InsideTheWeb is impossible without a secure source of
	funding and we are being forced to close our doors. While there are
	certainly other means of generating income, we do not have the ability to
	address them without sustaining significant losses in the foreseeable
	future.

	Therefore, as of March 5th, we will be shutting down all InsideTheWeb
	message boards. Because you have worked hard to build your message board, we
	have provided you with a feature in the control center that will allow you
	to save your board's contents to your local computer. To access this
	feature, simply login from http://www.InsideTheWeb.com, select "Download
	Board Data" from the drop down list, and click "Go!". Next, just click each
	button for the type of data you wish to save.

	We sincerely appreciate your patronage and support and hope that you will be
	able to find another forum that can meet your needs. We have thoroughly
	enjoyed talking with many of you over the years and wish you the very best.
	It is people like you that made InsideTheWeb the best message board
	community on the internet! Thank you!

	Regards,


	InsideTheWeb Customer Service

  • Happy Valentines Day.
  • I did some more software conversions, but they are at home ... I will post them tomorrow.
  • I am on the phone with Earthlink now (actually, on hold -- my call will be answered in twenty-one---minutes) ... again, if the site seems to go down, it is just Earthlink failing to handle a simple transaction. While it may not work, don't forget that the IP for the site is 207.221.40.207 (but that may change too).
  • I had to call Earthlink back ... that was only 16 minutes. I did not place the order, but when I do it is a full site move - IP address and domain shift. I anticipate doing this on Tuesday. They claim that they leave both sites up simulatenously so that while NSI does its work, it's always pointing to a working site. I'll believe that when I see it. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that if it goes down about Tues-Wed of next week, it is not permanently down.

  • Thank those of you who emailed suggestions - I have elected the Amazon.com honor program, which now appears on my ads page. All support is appreciated.
  • There is independent development going on by Spoiler of TOSEC databases for the Model 1, 3, and 4 stuff - So those of you with collections may soon have a way of weeding out the good from the bad (and dupes).
  • I have not forgotten about the disks I have received ... I anticipate getting to them shortly.
    • February 3, 2001
  • I am contemplating converting my hosting from NETCOM dialup to EARTHLINK no-dialup to save some money now that I have no site revenue. I have pretty much gotten it to the point where my netcom email is only getting spam. This transition MAY cause a disruption in the site, since I have no confidence in Earthlinks ability to make the purely internal transition smoothly. If you can't get the site, it isn't down - it's earthlink messing up.
  • The TOSEC list has been submitted. Special thanks to Charles Grisamore (of ORCH-90 fame) for cataloging R-Z.
    • January 14, 2000
  • I have added Jeff Vavasour's updated CoCo II emulator on the CoCo page.
  • Today is probably the last day to click my banner. As always, please order through the site if you order from Amazon.
    • January 12, 2000
  • The TOSEC page has recently been updated with a bunch of new RomDoctor data files, including 1,322 ORCH-80/85/90 names
  • I don't normally do this, but this page could be one of the funniest things I have ever read.
  • Charles Grisamore is lending a hand with the ORCH renaming ... Charles - Thank you!
    • January 8, 2000
  • Added a Link to Jeff Vavasour's On-Line Level I Emulator
  • The TOSEC people will be releasing a TRS-80 ORCH-80/85/90 database of the first 1322 ORCH files I have renamed shortly. It will be available through ROMDOCTOR. What RD does is scan your files and rename them according to size and CRC to a uniform name. I still have not gotten any volunteers, so the project is all me and slow going. I am about 1/2 way done through the ORCH's. Eventually, I do intend to do the Model I, III, and IV files so that people can be clear about their collections.
    • January 2, 2000
  • Jason Brady has sent 59 disks which I received and converted to DSK's yesterday. I will be going theough them soon, so look for new software in the next few days.
