I own a pair of 16A's.  My primary application is Scripsit, which I use
to do freelance writing.  The 16A's cost me $40 and $30 dollars, respectively,
and each cost me $50 dollars to ship.  The total cost was recovered in two
months worth of freelance submissions (three published op-ed pieces).

I also, until just recently, used Profile+ to maintain a 2,000 name 
theatrical mailing list (one 8" floppy).

I also, occasionally, use Visacalc to do some spreadsheet work.

I do everything on floppy; I do not own a hard drive.  I enjoy the cursor
and the simpleness of the system with its floppies.  The 68000 section
of my machines has been removed, in essence making the 16A's Model 2's
with a pair of slim-line drives.

Sometimes less is more, you know?

I recently bought a 2400-baud modem for my 6000. When I use a term program
to dial out, I can successfully use 2400 baud. When I try to use the 'cu'
program, the modem always runs at 1200. I investigated somewhat and found 
the following:

In the System Administrator's Guide to Xenix, 2nd Edition, in the section
on cu, it says that "...the possible baud rates are 100, 150, 300, 1200, 
2400, 4800, 9600", while in the cu section of the User's Guide it says that 
"the possible baud rates are: 300, 1200, 9600".

In the /dev directory, there are files like cua0, cua0.1200 and cua0.300.
There are no files with 2400 or 9600 in them.

Am I going to have to create a device, cua0.2400? If so, do you have
information on how to accomplish this? Or is the problem elsewhere?

Hiya!  I'm all smiles after having gotten the other T6k which my church had
stuck away in its basement... it even had a boot-disk with it!  However...

The boot disk doesn't boot (I pressed <REPEAT>-<BREAK> to trigger the boot
from floppy), but the hard drive *does* boot, sometimes.  But then...

What I get is a prompt which says "Tandy Xenix 3 (32) [...]" or some such,
then "Xenix Boot>".  Well, I didn't know what the answer to *that* was, so
I hit "?".  It told me to hit <ENTER> or <F1> for Xenix, or to type "xenix"
or "diskutil".  None of these options worked.

No matter what I type, it says "Program not found."

What's the problem?  Any ideas?

TRSDOS can already handle these specs, add the parameter of SIDES=2 to 
the format command (ex.  FORMAT :1 (NAME="DATADISK",DDEN,SIDES=2)   )
As for the step rate, that can be altered using the command of:
SYSTEM (BSTEP=n)         where 0=6msec
                               1=12msec
                               2=20msec
                               3=30msec
 
I do suggest, however, that you snag the latest version of LSDOS 6.3.1 as 
it will handle the correct dates, and has the latest SVC commands that 
the
older DOS's lack (which is probably what you have), thus several programs 
may not work on your computer even though they are written for the Model 
4.

My father had an old Tandy computer with a rather nice 24-pin printer,
the DMP-420.  Does anyone know anything about this unit?

Can it be used with a modern non-Radio Shack IBM Clone?
Does it use a standard parallel cable?
Does it emulate or is it identical to some other printer?
Are there drivers for it? For Word Perfect? Windows?  OS/2?

As far as a floppy controller (and the software driving it) is concerned, 
there is *no* difference between the (rare) 5.25" 80 track DSDD drives 
and the 3.5" 80 track DSDD drives. I've hooked a 720k 3.5" drive to the
external flkoppy connector on a model 4 and formatted it with no trouble
(once I looked up the options for 80 track, double sided).

If I ever get my model 4 up again, it'll have a pair of 360k 5.25" drives
in the lower drive bay and a pair of 720lk 3.5" drives in the upper drive
bay. They'll take a lot less power!

The Model two computer utilized disk drives that rotated continuosly once
power was applied.  The model 12, 16a, 16b, 6000 used what was called 
slimline drives that only rotated when requested to do so by accessing
them or by operating the drive latch.  When model two software was used
in a slimline environment, drive-not-ready errors would occur because the
drive was still trying to get up to speed.  That is, the software was 
expecting action, but the hardware was just waking up.  The thin/unthin
patches placed (or removed) appropriate delays into the appropriate 
portions of the operating system.  

As to your "string not found" errors, no biggie.  Each patch has the 
syntax of find this and replace it with that.  If the target string is
not found, the "string not found" error is generated.  Typically, the
patch has already been applied.  That is, the target string was not
found because it has already been replaced with the replaced by string.
That is, don't worry about that error.

BTW, diskettes that have been thinned will work just fine in a model
	two without being unthinned.

A couple of months ago I was given a TRS Model III computer that I in 
turn gave to a friend.  We're mainly interested in using the Model III 
as a terminal for online communications.  I was assured by this group 
that any MS-DOS compatible modem would work in this machine.  
Christmas has come and I purchased a modem for the occasion.  We have 
the cables to hook up the modem and now comes the Catch-22.

I was advised to use X-TERM as the communications package.  It's 
supposed to be located on a BBS in Texas.  (My 9600 baud modem has 
trouble connecting to 2400 baud modems so I haven't verified that 
fact.  Still, I have a friend with a 2400 baud modem so that problem 
can be overcome.)  

Assuming I can download the communications program, how can I get it 
to my friend's computer when she doesn't have a com program that would 
enable her to initiate a 'receive' from me?

We've seen mention of an RS-232 command instruction set in the manual 
but that part of the manual is missing.  We have the little SETCOM 
program but I haven't tried it yet.  Can I assume that I can run 
SETCOM and get to a terminal screen and then issue a Hayes command or 
an RS-232 command to initiate a 'receive' with the Model III?

Or can I hook our computers together with a null modem cable and pump 
the program directly to a floppy in her Model III?  I've never tried 
anything like this.  Just grasping for straws here.

BTW, we're running TRS-DOS 1.3.

Once again, thanks for all your help.

Tandy doesn't boast an 800 line for customer service, especially not for 
the TRS-80 line which they need at least 24 hours to locate the TRS-80 
technician.  CN80 magazine carries everything you'll ever need for your 
TRS-80, at a cheaper cost than Tandy and a much quicker response.  They 
also EXCLUSIVELY sell external drives for the 4P, impossible until just 
recently.  Subscriptions are only $24/year for 12 issues.

The catch?  Buyer wants (needs) a printer.
Not a real nice one.  He says that something offering
the same level of performance as his Panasonic KX-p1080
would be good enough.

So, I need to buy a printer.  Preferably not a totally worthless
one (you know, like a daisywheel), but not too nice (expensive).

So, send me an offer, or a place where I can buy these things.

Hey, if you know of any IBM PC-type 6000 software (like 123 clones,
wordstar clones, and the like), mail me, too.

You're very close, the exact syntax is...
    SET *CL TO COM/DVR   <ENTER>
    SETCOM (BAUD=xxxx,WORD=8,STOP=1,PARITY=OFF)     <ENTER>

Yes, my 4P (original 4P non-gate array) also has a standard DB25 female

I am trying to help a Model II user convert TRSDOS 2.0b diskettes to
TRSDOS 2.0a that supports the Model II 8" disk drives.  There is a utility
on these disks called "UNTHIN".   Below are several questions:

1.  Must I type "DO UNTHIN" on a Model 16 or Model 6000 to accomplish this or
    will TRSDOS 2.0b diskettes boot up on a Model II so the user can do this
    himself on his own machine (I don't want to mail him software that won't
    boot due to the difference in floppy drives).  

2.  When I type "DO UNTHIN" or "DO THINLINE" on my Model 16/6000 machines
    the program goes through a 1/2 dozen or so patches and then gives the
    error "string not found - aborting" followed by several dozen approximate
    more patches.  My question is, what the heck is going on here?  Is this
    working?  What is this string error telling me or is this just a normal
    diagnostic junk message?
