I have a TRS 80 model 4P that has been stored for some years. I want to know if this is working but do not have the operating system. Can somebody send me enough of it to see if the machine belong to the trash? Thanks, C Montenegro, Math 253-37, Caltech, Pasadena, CA 91125 .

<> You can get the operating system you need from MISOSYS at 1-800-MISOSYS. You can also still get LD-DOS 6 from Radio Shack, but I am pretty certain they are a version or two behind MISOSYS. A quick test to see if your machine is still alive is to plug it in, turn it on and watch for floppy drive to light up. Then hold down the period key and press RESET. The machine should start running memory diagnostics. If they don't barf and you can see the text on the screen, sounds like a lot of the machine is working. <This information is provided by an individual and is not nor should be construed as being provided by Radio Shack or Tandy Corp.
