Hey folks,
A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a TRS-80 Model II and a TRS-80 Model III from a local gentleman who was moving houses. They're in pretty good shape, but very, very dusty. A-cleaning I will go!
But my question for the moment is about the Model III. I really don't know anything about Tandys, which is a bit ironic since a TRS-80 Model III was the very first computer I ever used. But I was young then, in fifth grade, and I don't remember a lick of it. I have been searching the web like crazy looking for documentation, and I can't find any. I find lots of GIFs and JPGs of manual covers, but no actual PDFs. Does anyone know of a good archive of TRS-80 documentation? I'm looking for ordinary user manuals, as well as any kind of good low level technical documentation about the disk interface. I'd like to try my hand at rolling my own disk interface based on a modern microcontroller, since I'll likely never find a TRS-80 disk interface!
Thanks much,
