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
