    TRS-80 Model 3 Disk Drive Issues

    Brad, Yes, you can write the t3dt16_dsk.img directly to floppy just by using the "dd" command in Debian Linux. It is a *.RAW Image (Sector Dump) and HxC or the Imagedisk utilities (IMDA, and IMDU) can easily extract the .RAW file from the *.IMD file. I typically use a batch file in DOSBOX to...

    Leading Edge Model M – POST beeps (graphics card?)

    I found that Program on my Old Hard drive image. I think my Leading Edge Model M had version 2.1 and I upgraded to DOS 3.3. But, I might be mistaken. Larry

    IBM 5150 PC Tandon TM100 drive select jumpers!

    Here is a good Photo of the crossover cable that prevents users of being confused. Those IBM folks sure cleared all the confusion by doing their part. :) Notice that Pin 10 & Pin 16 are now Motor ON. Larry

    TRS-80 Model 4 Character Map

    The Model 4 has 256 (0x00-0xFF) Characters arranged in an 8 x 8 matrix. Attached are the "A" & "a" Characters decoded from my Excel file. The remaining Characters are decoded in the same manner. I created the attached BMP file of the Model 4's Characters, several years ago. I haven't VERIFIED...

    Weak Disk Imaging

    Next, It would be interesting if you could would boot a Debian computer and give gddrescue V1.23 a try. It should allow you to read as much of the floppy as possible, and recover the missing data from other duplicate floppy's. You can also read in reverse order to retrieve more of the missing...

    Alberta Old non-working full-height floppy drives: Offers

    bburley, The TPI Floppy drives are SS/DD Floppy Drives. These were a CHEAP knockoff of the Tandon TM-100 series produced for the TRS-80 Model 4 and described in the Model 4 Service Manual. Both the Tandon and TPI drives need to have the Hinge Point of the Floppy Door verified as having...

    8" Floppy Drive REMEX RFD 2000 repairs

    How does this plastic part attach to the shaft that has the Cir-Clip on it? Is it molded onto the shaft or is it removable? It appears to be removable from the Parts Schematic. Do you have all the parts for a complete Hub assembly that you could Superglue back in place for a complete...

    Testing and/or troubleshooting Model III floppy drives

    Phil, It could be a normal sound. The best thing to do is Unplug the Read Head Cable(s) and remove the two screws holding the Logic PCB. You can then swing it out of the way to access the Head Guide Rods. Wipe them down with a cotton swab dipped in Alcohol. After that I drip about 3-4 drops...

    Are you sure the Fujitsu M2551A is a 360K, 5.25" Floppy Drive. The documentation shows it as a 3.5" 720K Floppy Drive. Larry

    Leading Edge Model M – POST beeps (graphics card?)

    The Leading Edge Model M did not support EGA, but there was an updated BIOS that did support EGA. I've purchased it, and used it along with two of my buddy's. The Sperry HT BIOS 4.71 does support EGA, and was the One I purchased. Ray (modem7) should have a Copy on his site, as I forwarded it...
