[net.micro.16k] Adcvice/Help with TRS-100

frank@dciem.UUCP (Frank Evans) (04/07/86)

I would deeply appreciate anyone's advice on 
the subject of the Trs-100 computer.

I am deeply interested in purchasing this 
computer in order to take home files from my 
MacIntosh Plus,ie text files, or remotely 
communicate with it or other computers!

My questios are?

1) Can one expand the memory by oneself 
without having to pay the high Tandy prices? 
I am fairly comfortable with electronics and 
soldering and so I am hoping to do it myself 
or purchase a reputable 3rd. body hardware 
product. Any suggestions??

2) What are good sources of information for 
hardware/software options and ideas available
for the TRS-100??

3)Can this computer be connected to a 1200 
baud modem or directly to a Macintosh?

4)Can the computer be connected directly to a
Macintosh via a null or ordinary modem in 
order to send/receive text files?

5)What other worthwhile hardware/software is 
available for the TRS-100 besides what Tandy(
Radio Shack) has to offer??

6) What are good reference or instruction 
texts which provide a good background on how 
to program the Basic in the TRS-100? What 
type of basic is used in this machine??



I would deeply appreciate any advice or ideas
on these matters??

Sincerely		 Frank Evans
