I've just got a S-100 system and it had a RASEFDC Floppy controller and came with its manual. It was made by Research And Scientific Engineering, in Micham, Victoria, Australia. It used a DGZ80 CPU board, a BWS-2010 Video card (both these made in Australia) and a Tanner 64k Static Ram Memory...

I've just been given a Z80 based S100 system and a pile of manuals. Some of the manuals are Systems Group FDC-2800 Technical Manual, Systems Group HDC-2900 Technical Manual, BWS-100 Monitor User Manual, BWS 2010/2011 Technical Manul, DTC-10_1P Product Specs, DTC-520B Product Specs and some SME...

Thanks for that, yes using TRS80gp I can just drag and drop the 2 ASC programs into the Percom RS L2 Basic. And they start running, but after initilization, the program stops with an error. Not sure where to go from there. I also dont seam to be able to SAVE the program to the disk either...

Arr thats it, thanks. But now comes to problem of putting my 2 Basic listing on the Percom OS-80 disk as TRS80Tools doesnt recognize the disk format.

The program is for a Dick Smith System 80 which is a clone of a TRS-80 Model 1 Level II. The program is called SCAP (Stock Control & Pricing) and would have came on a 5.25" disk. I now have the manual and the last 6 pages has the programs Basic listing. I scanned and OCR'e it to a TXT file...

Also found the emulator TRS80gp is able load in an ASCII file directly with LOAD "FILE/ASC" I then save out a "FILE/BAS". All good, but I then run the program I get a SYNTAX error in line 300 - I've tried different disks with different Basics but all give the same error. Does anyone know of...

Thanks for that, I used TRSTools to copy the file to Newdos-80 disk and booted that up in TRS32. Ran Basic and then used MERGE "FILE.ASC" and it loaded in until it found some error. So need to fix that and then its should load fully. Thanks.

Having scanned in 6 pages of fine text Basic listing and then OCR'ing it and converting all the 0 to O and l (small L) to 1, etc. how can I convert it to a tokenized BAS file that loads and runs. Google hasnt been my friend finding a solution. Any help appreciated. Oh, file for TRS-80 Model 1...

Thanks David, but I dont think thats it. The manual quotes the Start Address as The Start address specifies the address (in hexadecimal> of the first byte of the code. This is normally the end address of the Pascal library plus one. Not having TP on my System 80, if I run it on a Microbee, I...

There is available a CP/M version for a TRS-80 Model 1 (and my System 80 clone) but because of its roms, low memory starts at 4200h and the programs load at 4300h. So off the shelf CP/M programs dont work. I have the Turbo Pascal source code for the game Ladder but cant find how, if possible...

You should be able to convert the images you have (are they in IMD format?) by converting the IMD (or the CQM file if from archive.org) to a HFE file using HxCFloppyEmulator software ready for a Gotek.

Whats wrong with using ZCPR3 where you can name the user groups, such as

We have all the Technical Manuals etc and expert help needed over at www.microbeetechnology.com.au/forum . Probably best to discuss it there being very Microbee specific.

Is there any chance of you writing/modifying a version of LokiOS for the Aussie Microbee 128k. Would love to see it working on a real Vintage computer. Native graphics is 512 x 256 on a 80x24 screen.
