-      I had a Model II with a 10MB hard drive. It was a separate unit in a matching case, so the twin 8" drives were also usable. And it was the size of a PC lying in its side, if a little less wise. I remember opening it up for a look-see and finding a belt driving the hard drive and the motor off to one side. This when all in one drives such as we see today were becoming the norm.

-      I had quite a bit of software for it: Scripsit, DBase and BASIC, all running off TR-DOS, plus some CP/M disks which were (sadly) corrupted.

-    text: In late 70's I developed a lot commercial software (accounting, insurance, etc.) for this machine (in Basic, with several critical routines written in Z80 machine language) and my company sold several of TRS-ModII. The problems with power supply involved mainly a tantalium condenser in the video card, which caused a black-out of the screen. On the other hand, it was a very good computer for its time.

-      Shugart Associates sold a large number of 8" hard disk drives to Tandy which I believe were incorporated into some variant of the TRS80 Model II. Does anyone recall whether it replaced the FDD in the chassis or went into a separate box (perhaps replacing an external FDD?\

-      I have an antique TRS-80 Model II that has a character generator ROM that is fried to a golden black. I have an EPROM reader/burner so could build another on on a 2716 chip IF I can find the code or could borrow a chip to copy, etc. I can reconstruct the code if I knew the "rules" also.\

I still have the boxes for everthing but the moniter. I also found some mannuals and Newsletters to it. If anybody is interested or at least could give me more info about it that would be great
