TJBChris | Storage On The 8s: Untangling TRSDOS #septandy @TJBChris | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Part III of my #SepTANDY series: Storage On The 8's. In Part III, I look at the many versions of TRSDOS available for the TRS-80 Model II, 12, 16, 16B and the Tandy 6000. I'll talk about some of the differences between each version, incompatibilities between versions, floppy and hard disk support, and preferred versions for the various hard disk controller combinations. Complete with demonstrations, of course!
