May 16, 2013 – CoCo/Dragon Emulator – XROAR

by Ira @ 1:27 pm. Filed under Emulators

May 16, 2013 – CoCo/Dragon Emulator

Joe Hagen has let me know that a new CoCo/Dragon emulator, called XROAR, has been released. XRoar is a Dragon emulator for Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, GP32, Nintendo DS and Windows. Due to hardware similarities, XRoar also emulates the Tandy Colour Computer (CoCo) models 1 & 2. The main XROAR page can be found at http://www.6809.org.uk/dragon/xroar.shtml.

May 14, 2013 – Z80ASM Updated to v1.2

Matthew Reed has released v1.2 of his PC-Based Z80 Assembler, updated to fix a small bug. Z80Asm assembles TRS-80 assembly language programs and creates /CMD files that will run on a real or emulated TRS-80, but it runs on the command line of your Windows PC.
More information can be found on the official Z80Asm Page. The file can be downloaded here.

May 8, 2013 – Video Comparing TRS-80 Hard Drive and TRS-80 Hard Drive Emulator

by Ira @ 11:37 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

May 8, 2013 – Video Comparing TRS-80 Hard Drive and TRS-80 Hard Drive Emulator
	As you may know from prior news items, Ian Mavric will soon be selling a TRS-80 Hard Drive Emulator; a tiny circuit board with a standard SD card that plugs into an actual TRS-80 Model III/4/4P via its standard 50-Pin Bus and then acts exactly as a TRS-80 Hard Drive would act. Ian has prepared a video which demonstrates his TRS-80 Hard Drive Emulator. The video starts off showing booting and using Model 4 with an actual TRS-80 Hard Drive attached, moves on to show the insides of a TRS-80 Hard Drive system, and then shows the same operations (albeit on a Model 4P) using his emulator. If you are interested in purchasing a TRS-80 Hard Drive emulator, contact Ian Mavric at ianm at trs-80 dot com.

April 25, 2013 – Hard Drive Emulator for a Real TRS-80 Model III/4

by Ira @ 6:27 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

April 25, 2013 – Hard Drive Emulator for a Real TRS-80 Model III/4

Ian Mavric will be handling sales and distribution of Hard Drive Emulators for the Model III. The circuit boards will be attached to a TRS-80 just as TRS-80 hard drive would, so the TRS-80 will believe a full fledged hard drive is attached; but the media itself will simply be a SD card.

Ian intends to offer the product in three different forms:

Kit A	just the bare PCB and a CD of dropbox data and is best suited to hard-core electronics enthusiasts who have the equipment to program GAL and PIC chips. All parts need to be supplied by the builder, and a complete BOM list is provided.
Kit B	the PCB, and programmed GAL and PIC, and a CD dropbox of data suit people capable of soldering together a project kit of some complexity. All parts apart from the GAL and PIC need to be supplied by the builder, and a complete BOM is provided.
Kit C	fully assembled kit, tested, partitioned and loaded with DOS ready to plug into your Model III, 4, 4D or 4P. Boot floppy disk provided. Just connect it to a 5V power source, a hard drive cable, and boot the floppy.

Prices have yet to be confirmed and Ian will know more when he starts building them. Each is hand made and then tested on Ian’s own TRS-80 system with the OS installed to make for easy set up.

The initial hard disk image supplied on the drive will be 42Mb divided into 6 partitions and installed OS will be LDOS 5.3.1 for Model III users and LS-DOS 6.3.1 for Model 4/4P/4D users.

To be put on the waiting list, contact Ian at ianm at trs-80 dot com.
