About This Page
Information from Tandy memos and technical bulletins were combined to form this list. Three things to note:
- Analyzing the ROMs and researching for possible mistakes took a lot of the TRS-80 community out there, and I thank them all. Special thanks to George Philips and Ken Brookner for tackling the hardest issue of them … ROM A Checksum 1591
- ROM C uses locations $37E8 and $37E9 as a pass-through for printer information. PEEKing a ROM to dump it will not work unless the printer is off because those 2 locations will contain whatever data they contain otherwise. When MEMTEST does its CRC checks, it skips those 2 locations. Thanks also to George Philips for that info.
- If you have any ROMs which are shown as missing, please contact me.

* – Both the Model III and Model 4 list 9639 407C 1591 as a valid ROM combination, which is somewhat baffling. That combination will run on both a Model III and a Model 4. It contains some code calling the Model 4 CRTC which runs fine on a Model 4 and is ignored on a Model III.

v1 – First released version. U.S. Version (60Hz). Did not allow control codes to be entered from the keyboard although those codes were documented in the owners manual.

v2 – Rom C, Rev B – 1980. Corrects problem with control codes. Changes screen print from S + P to SHIFT + DOWN ARROW + *
2F84
8040316C / AMX-4642
v3 – Rom C, Rev C – 1981. Corrects “garbage on screen” power up problem discussed in Technical Bulletin III:10. The differences between v2 and v3 are very small. First, a byte in the printer character lookup table which was wrong in both v1 and v2 has been fixed (3185H had 40H where it should have been 60H). Second, the instruction at 3468 (FDC Bootup routine) previously had a CALL (17 cycles) to a routine containing PUSH BC (11 cycles), POP BC (10 cycles), NOP (4 cycles), and RET (10 cycles) to stall for processing of the OUT command which preceded it. This was changed to PUSH BC (11 cycles), POP BC (10 cycles), NOP (4 cycles), which reduced the stall by 27 clock cycles.

How to Get Your CRC’s
If you do not have a DOS system, you can type in this program and get your CRC’s. These programs were written by Dean Bear.
Longer Version (Runs Fast):
