[net.micro] TRS80 Model 100 Documents

marks@ihuxx.UUCP (08/10/83)

I'm trying to gather all the documentation I
can on my TRS80 Model 100 computer (or personal
executive workstation, if you prefer).

Evidently, Radio Shack will let me order the
service manual for a mere $3.50.  However, I
doubt this includes the source code listing.
Has anyone tried to obtain a listing for the
Model 100? If so, did you succeed? How?
Thanks.

Radio Shack NEVER NEVER NEVER releases listings of the firmware
in their home computers (usually because they don't own the rights).

John Roach, Prex Tandy, at the Boston Computer Society meeting
said that information on assembly coding and hooks into the
TRS80-100 system would soon be available so that folks can
get into making software for it.  One of the reviews pointed
out that there is an entry for CRT in the "microcode", so
there are plans afoot for that, at least.  And yes, it is
Microsoft that one has to deal with, not Tandy.
