Got a Radio Shack flyer in the mail yesterday -- in the "As is Where is"
section I saw both the cassette and *disk* versions of the Model 4.
I presume that this marks the end of the Mod-4, and with it the end of
the computer line based on the "original" TRS-80.
Sorry to see it go.

I don't think so -- at least not yet. I seem to recall that Ed Juge of Tandy specifically denied the end of the Mod IV series. There's some version or other that's in the 86 catalog. But they might no longer support tape. Brint

No, it marks the introduction of the Model 4D which has double-sided disk drives. So the Z-80 and TRS-80 still live on.

They are coming out with the Model 4D....which is the same as the old

I also specifically remember Ed denying that the Model I would go out of production, up until the announcement was made that the Model III would be sold starting next week, and Model I's are no longer available. This is standard practice, after all, would you buy a computer now if you knew that next week the companty would supercede it with a better and cheaper one? Jim

Unfortunately, the drives have full height bezels so that they can not be placed in the same disk opening in the case. I am ostin this even though most of you on the net probably know it by now, so that this kind of rumor doesn't spread too far. J. Matthew Good uggoodjm@sunybcs
