I need help in locating hard drive drivers for the model 4p
and trsdos 6.0. I have the percom 15 meg hard fixed drive which
comes with ldos 5.1 drivers for the model 3. Percom seems to be
out of bussiness and logical systems doesn't seem to want to help.
Please help.....

<I've been waiting for you, buggie whan...> What you need to do is hop down to the Radio Shack store and order TRSDOS 6.2.0, part 26-0316. It's price varies depending on what sale/promotion is going on, but I believe you will be able to get it for <$40. Inside you will find TRSDOS 6.2.x and a BASIC Interpreter disk, and a disk called Hard Disk Initialization. (Might ask the store manager to open the package and check before you spend the money.) Anyway, the Init disk has the drivers and formatter you need to run any hard disk that has a Western Digital WD1000 or WD1010 controller, that is port-compatable with the Radio Shack version. If Percom used a different controller, you are on your own, but I believe theirs was almost identical to Radio Shacks version. P.S. If you are using a 4P, be sure to press <f2> or <2> each time you boot the hard disk system using a floppy start-up disk (if you plan to run in Model IV mode), or else it will cause the floppy drives to make lovely grinding noises. <This information is provided by an individual and is not nor should be construed as being provided by Radio Shack or Tandy Corp.
