LDOS 6.3.1 rebuilt on a real TRS80 with FreHD

[veco]

Yesterday, I rebuilt LDOS 6.3.1 on my model 4, using the FreHD. It is much slower than xtrs on my laptop, but it's a milestone. AFAIK, this hasn't been done for years. Pete Cervasio, who packaged and created JCL scripts to build LDOS, rebuilt LDOS on his emulator, but never on a real TRS80.

It was nice to build LDOS (I didn't time it, left the TRS80 running while having dinner), copy the fresh binaries to a floppy, and boot from it.

Cheers,

-Fred

Some folks are just lucky!
