Very helpful. Thanks!

nice

Excellent! Been looking for a Type-II HDA for a long time.

Hi, thanks a lot for sharing your experience.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a model I that still has its reset switch flap! Maybe they do exist but I've never seen one 😊

I want one that can support HD floppies under OS9!

I love how the wood is broken at the bottom left... All of of who had this knows this... Made me smile...

Ok, so I'm 7 years late. But the bus stopped for dimmies. Anyway, it's great to see LDOS and galaxy invasion again. The TRS-80 Model 1 started my life in computers. 8-bit rules! :)

Just my luck, my time with the TRS-80 Model III/4 ended around 1984 before I got to enjoy high resolution. Oh well, still fun times.

One comment since my 4P does not have the jumper on the video board connector my board did not work when only doing what is in the video. I did find a Tandy Technical Bulletin that said to remove jump from E4-E5. When I did that jumper removal the board does work nicely

I didn't know LNW actually made a black box version. I guess yours was a kit version? Mine was fully assembled, a good looking cream color, big logo in front, with the front slanted from a curved top edge, very stylish. Have to admit half my reason for getting it instead of the Radio Shack version was how it looked, since I was always hated the silver Trash-80 (lol) look. In fact because of that I didn't get the matching monitor, instead bought a what I think was a Hitachi 9" monitor and adapted the cable, later upgrading to a 12" amber screen, can't remember the manufacturer...

Are the schematics still available somewhere ? Or a 240V print ?

Is this for sale

Does the graphics board support sprite graphics in hardware

Hey there. I have the very exact same model of this, I won it in an Ebay auction and it just arrived today. However, I cannot get the case off for the life of me. It looks like it's locked up via the key lock. Do you happen to know what kind of key these models take?

Wish someone had ported Dungeons of Daggorath to the Model III / 4 (obviously with hi-res graphics expansion required). Those computers' monochrome monitors would have done a better job with that monochrome game than the CoCo which ended up doing unintended artifact red and blue on the TV sets.

Back in the day, I transcribed quite a lot of music with the Orch-80/90, then uploaded the files to a site which no longer exists. Is there any place that still keeps those files?

Really interesting load screen. My version of Buzzard Bait didn't have that

I see you're using an external speaker, maybe a Realistic, which is neat since that's of course a Tandy brand. If you want to really have a nice visual match with the system, with a black and gray theme and Radio Shack branding, try the CB radio extension speaker, Cat. No. 21-549A or 21-549B (some have Realistic badging so keep an eye out). For symmetry (even though the Model I line doesn't do stereo) consider the 40-167 (even though only one of the two has the Radio Shack badge), the 40-1313, the 40-1323, the 40-1362, etc.

Where are the updates?? 😢 How is the car now 6 years on? Would love to see more

The voice synthesizer was not just for Eliza, and Eliza worked fine just doing text. And Radio Shack also sold a voice recognition system so that you could literally talk back and forth with your computer. In the late 1970s!

cool

Very Nice COCO computer!

very cool

What's that with the 50 pin header? Usually, MFM uses a 34 pin and a 20 pin header...?

Very good, thank you. I recently got a couple of Model 3's which need a little work. Your method of opening the unit will be helpful.

Hello. I am interested in buying this PC model, do you ship to Mexico? please contact me😁

how much

I have my old Model IV in the basement but the CRT neck was damaged and I cannot run it. I would love to get it back in shape either with a replacement CRT or an LCD alternative so I can run it.

This was five years ago and there is still no comments lol

This was five years ago and there is still no comments lol

Thank you for posting this! My M1 had the exact same issue, so this was really helpful! I ended up socketing and replacing both Z5 and Z6, just to be sure.

Wow, even the really early speech synthesizers were being used in voice assistance.

nice

thank you for share!

thats really cool. i need to get something like this for my model 3. just wondering. how many boot images can you store on the sd card? and also . this the images on the sd card. is there any kind of file size limits to how large the hard drive image will store ? (ie, how much free space is in a hard drive image file )

Buzzard Bait, I didn't have the reflexes for that even as a kid! Like 80s angry birds gameplay. Gimme that Dungeons of Daggorath any day.

Intriguing. The lack of modulator port on back of casing and the large-sized, angled floppy drive button all point to it being an Atari STF. I've seen one before (an STFM) where the lower casing had been replaced and once the owner realised there was a port hidden behind the case they simply drilled an appropriately sized circular hole in the rear casing to allow connection to the modulator. Ironically it had sticker on bottom saying 1040STF !😋 Keyboard area looks like new from factory and is very clean and lacking "sunburn". Good luck with sale - you always have fascinating stuff on your ebay store!

Hello how much did it go for? Wondering what the asking price is on one since it’s so rare.

Can I use a standard PC floppy cable with these controllers and CoCo’s?

wow good ~ I have a deskjet 500K printer

Those half moon tail lights are awesome. I love the RX2 and is right up there with RX3. That color is rare and unique. Will be following this build even though I’m 5 yrs late to the story.

in the GA machine, are you sure it's pin 22 of U11 that gets the hook? Mine doesn't work unless I hook it to pin 23.

Awesome video! Do you by chance have part numbers for the replacement brightness and contrast pots used in the Model 3?

If you look in the lower right corner you will see that in order to speak, 'Eliza' spoke by sequencing characters to a specific video memory location. The voice synthesizer monitored that memory location for each new character and cross referenced that character to documented list of phonetic sounds that comprise the human language. The synthesizer did NOT read the text. It merely enunciated each sound that was associated with each character. Properly sequenced, you could obtain very clear, understandable speech. I spent many hours programming it for fun. I bought every possible peripheral (exp bay, drives, speech synth, etc.) the moment it came to market using my paper route money when I was 12. Best financial investment I ever made.

let me understand here... the TRS-80 model II was bus s-100 based? is that so?

Placed an order today. Have been trying to find an Expansion Interface with RAM for my TRS-80 Model I G rev board but have decided to give the FreHD with QI interface ago. Thanks for all your great work with the TRS-80 community

Spray the ribbon with WD40 to redistribute the ink

Nice work Ian

You're not gonna put Xenix on this bad boy? TRSDOS hard disk support is a bit naff, it doesn't even support floppies. The true power of the machine could only be unlocked with Xenix.
