Z-80 Replacement for the Model III

Ted over at Microcore Labs has been developing a modern Z-80, which he calls MCLZ8, which can plug directly into a Model III.
MCLZ8, is a Zilog Z80 emulator which can be used as a drop-in replacement for the original Z80. It uses a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller board which contains an 800Mhz microcontroller and a small PCB to perform the voltage translation between the motherboard and the microcontroller. The MCLZ8’s Z80 emulation passes the exhaustive ZEXALL opcode test suite and the speedy microcontroller allows the ability to simultaneously mimic the Z80’s local bus interface.
You can read about his project here.
Some videos of the MCLZ8 in action are here.

Stuart Feldhamer, who makes the “Lets Play” videos showing real TRS-80 games being played on his YouTube Channel Stu’s Game Reviews, has uncovered a MUCH better quality copy of the Misosys Disassembler/Exatron Version I Manual than had been previously available.
You can download this cleaner copy here.
Thank you, Stuart!
Catweasel Tools Updated to v4.9
Quentin Barnes has released v4.9 of the Catweasel Tools originally written by Tim Mann. Many updates to this version were written by Tim!
Changelog:
- The main new feature of this release is the -R option for cw2dmk. It provides the ability to replay a previously saved log as input to cw2dmk rather than reading from physical media. This will allow users of cw2dmk to pass along strange or unexpected media read behaviors to the maintainers as files without having to mail diskettes.
- Catch errors when writing to files. Report and exit when errors are seen.
- Add -X min_retry feature to cw2dmk, accepting the same syntax for min_retry as for -x max_retry.
- Add QUIRK_IAM to -q option in cw2dmk.
- Add QUIRK_EXTRA_DATA to -q option in cw2dmk.
- Various minor cleanup of code and the cw2dmk usage message.
You can download from Github..

Color Graphic Printer Service Manual
(Radio-Shack)[26-1192].jpg)
Tarkie was kind enough to scan the Color Graphic Printer Service Manual.
At the moment it is missing the larger exploded-printer pages 50-53, and should those get scanned, I will update.
You can download the service manual from the Printer Section of the Radio Shack Service Manual Page.
