Ron,
I can't help you any with your hard disk drive questions, but I can with the
terminal problem.
I have a TRS-80 Model 4 that I used to use all the time as a terminal. I emu
lated a VT-100 using a program from The Alternate Source that allows over 200
different terminal emulations. THe communications program I used was the
COMM program that came on the TRSDOS 6.2 disk.
The program works by setting up a filter and then filtering both the input and
output from the communications port to make it conform to the terminal that
you are emulating. The program even lets you define your own terminal type
if it is not one that is already supported. If I remember correctly, the
program cost me about $19.00. The address is:
The Alternate Source
704 North Pennsylvania Avenue
Lansing, MI 48906
(517) 482-8270
These people have always been very helpful when I have dealt with them in the
past. If for some reason you can't get the program, let me know and maybe we
can arrange something.
Also, I have some PD stuff for both the model III and 4 that I could send you
once you get your computer working as a terminal.
