Some loving for the Tandy TRS-80

[MarkRMWalker]

A few weeks ago I decided to add my first computer love to my LB collection. Back in 1979 I bought the TRS-80 Model 1 Level 2 16k and thus started my life long fascination computing technology. I was a little underwhelmed however with the meagre size of the LB database for that historically important system.

Anyway, since then I have been beavering away and have made a substantial increase to the database for this venerable computer. I have added well over 100 titles complete with covers and sundry artwork. I decided only to add titles for which i can find covers. As of today I have about 20 titles left to upload and will continue as long as I can still find covers. Although, it seems I have almost tapped out that reservoir.

So, for anyone interested in having a closer look at one of the original trinity, they will have a better experience than I did a month ago.

By the way, I am using the TRS80GP emulator. It handles all the relevant file types and integrates well into LB.

Thanks a lot, I took advantage of that! For some reason I can only get DMK files to load in TRS80GP, the DSK files just hang. Is there an extra command I need to load DSK?

Hi nonstick,

I had to hunt around a few places to find working discs, .cmd and .bas files. If you have access to the TOSEC set that will be a great help to you. it can be found at  ((REMOVED LINKS)) Not every .dsk and .dmk file will work but fortunately there are plenty of alternatives.

also try here:-  ((REMOVED LINKS)) here  and here ((REMOVED LINKS))

After a bit of a search and trial and error, I was able to find working files for 98% of LB entries. Good luck.
