Oh, knock it off.

I've heard the same tale from many places.  It seems to originate with
people who don't realize that "TRS-80" does not always mean "Model I".  :-)

It is possible that Tandy built prototypes of Z80-based color machines
before developing the CoCo, and this might also cause the stories of
the Z80 CoCo.

Yes, those comments were based upon the standard ASCII set for the TRS-80

I've yet to see any ZIPping cabilities for the Model 4.  While we currently 
have the ability to UN- ZIP/ZOO/LZH/ARC and the like, the model 4 currently 
on compresses with LZH and ARC.  Of course there was the old squeezing 
method, but that is so obsolete I doubt anyone even has the unsqueezer

Does anyone have any more detailed documentation on temmxl.sys which
is shipped with the 2500XL?  It works ok with my system, but it seems
to have a conflict with DOS 5.0 himem.sys which I cannot seem to work
around. Is it considered a software EMS 4.0 emulation or is it more
like the hardware emulation built into NEAT chipsets? Does it have a
non-Tandy equivalant which might be documented better.?

There were various color and graphics add on's for the Model 1/3.

The Model 2 is listed in my catalog from 1979 with the Model 1.  The COCO,
Model 3 and pocket computer 1 were introduced in my next catalog.  The
Model 1 and 2 were also still available.

The Model 2 used a Z-80 at 4 Mhz.  The successor to the 2, the Model 12
also used a 4 Mhz Z-80, but had other enhancements.
The Model 16/16B and 6000 used the 68000 chip.  They also had a Z-80
for Model 2/12 mode (and I think the Z-80 helped the 68000 with I/O,
at least the catalog says it did).

I would like a copy.  It would be interesting to compare to my own VT100 
emulation code....

Find DEZIP from Richard VanHouten.  You will need to register it to get
a fully functional copy, but it's only $10.  Richard has several other
dearchivers and a few other utilities as well.  He can be reached via the
TRS-1/3/4 FIDOnet echo.  (This information is why I posted instead of
e-mailed....)

> James Cameron

BTW: My VT100 emulator has been greatly expanded by R V and is available as
a commercial product through Computer News 80.  It's called ANSITERM and
requires a HIRES graphics board and a Model 4.  It displays the IBM character
set and fully implements the IBM ANSI control codes.  The screen is 80x30.

Several File transfer protocols are supportted, including Ymodem Batch.

(This is not an ad, as I am getting no kickback whatsoever from the sale of
ANSITERM--My code was donated to the public domain (and, those portions of
ANSITERM are STILL PD), and Richard picked it up and made a marketable
product out of it.)  I can send you MY source code archive if you would like,
since it is PD.  My code requires TRSDOS 1.3 on a Model 3 using a Model 3 Radio
Shack HIRES Board.  It will reliably communicate at a sustained 19200 bps on
a model 3 running at 2MHz.  My interrupt routines are quite tight!  Oh, it
also requires either modification to the interrupt buffering code or a special
port-mapped memory board to operate.

"The Programmer's Guide to LS-DOS 6" available from MISOSYS (1-800-MISOSYS)

I find it much more likely that stories like this were promulgated by

   All of these items were done in rather limited production runs, so they are

RBI>My son has a Tandy 1000RL.  We have three questions:
RBI>
RBI>1) The computer originally had 512K of RAM.  He bought and installed
RBI>256K of additional memory (two chips).  The computer now says "768 K"
RBI>when we turn it on, but after it's finished booting we can only find
RBI>640K.  Yes, I know DOS has a 640K limit, but I thought we could use
RBI>the extra 128K for loading TSR's or for a RAMdisk.  Where is this
RBI>memory and how is it accessible?
RBI>
Since the Tandy TL series are 8 bit computers, I don't believe that that high
memory area is available for TSR's.  If my memory serves me correctly, the
video memory is located there leaving some extra space in your lower memory
area.
 
There may be drivers on your system disk that will allow the use of virtual
disks or caches in that upper memory area.
RBI>2) How can one access the sound and music systems, other than through
RBI>DeskMate?  We'd like to do some programming.
RBI>
RBI>3) Is there a technical reference manual for this computer, and where
RBI>is it available?  The sales people at Radio Shack have been completely
RBI>out of their depth on these questions.  
RBI>-- 

There are technical reference manuals for ANY computer system.  There are also
service manuals for the systema as well.
 
You need to either call Consumer Mail directly at 800-433-2024, give them the
catalog number of your computer, or you can go into the nearest store and ask
them to order it for you.  I know for a fact that it does exsist.  As a matter
of fact, I ordered one for a customer a month or so ago.
