I am looking for the name of the company that released a program that allows a user to convert TRS80 Model III 5-1/2 inch to DOS format all on the PC. I never thought I'd need the program when I saw it advertised several months ago, but the need did arise. If anyone in netland recalls the name of where I could get hold of this program, it would be appreciated. Thanx, Ted Bailey: mit-eddie!necntc!banyan!ted

There are a couple for programs for the TRS-80 than read, write and format MSDOS disks. If your TRS-80 drive is single sided, then it could only read, write or format single sided MSDOS disks. MSDOS allows you to format single sided disks. The names of a couple of programs are: "Hypercross XT" and "Supercross". I believe they are written by Powersoft. If you look in any old "80 Micro" magazine, you should see their advertisement. If you need any assistance, feel free to send me e-mail at choset@eniac.seas.upenn.edu.ARPA. I believe our UUCP site is a machine called super, so if you can't get to ARPA try choset%eniac@super.UUCP . Please note that I am not a representative of Powersoft and am no way affiliated with Powersoft. Howie Choset University of Pennsylvania

Sounds like what you are looking for is TRSCROSS from PowerSoft. Sorry, I don't have an address handy, but they still advertise in 80 Micro. -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I used to be a hacker.

The Aug 87 issue of Computer SHopper, page 219 has a review of Media Master and it is specifically described as a CP/M to MS-DOS transfer program. There are 8 TRS-80 CP/M formats listed but these will do you no good at all if you want to read TRS-DOS, LDOS, DOS-PLUS, NEWDOS etc. To read these you need Hypercross or PC Cross-Zap from Hypersoft or TRS-CROSS from Powersoft. Check 80 Micro for sources. Mike Gingell ...decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!mjg
