Looking for TRS-80 users group
in the Ann Arbor area.
Does such a thing exist?

It just so happens that I run a BBS for the Tandy Color Computer series..
but not for the old Model I/II/III/IV's. Which TRS-80 does your friend
have? (The CoCo's run MC6809E's, the Model X's run Z80's)
My BBS is the Falcon's Lair, 313-429-2150, online since 1986. (And don't
bother calling if you don't have a CoCo, aren't into the Microware OS9
operating system, or aren't a friend of mine.. I'
you'd be amazed at how many people with XT's and PS/1's keep asking "Where's
the filez, DOODEZ?!?!?!!?!"...)

I believe he has a III, and he wants to find some sort of reasonable (and
free) wordprocessor for it. What he has now is apparently klunky in the
extreme.

I actually do have an RS color computer. It's somewhere down in
the basement archives.

I know someone with a Model III, he is looking for ANY useful software.
I'd like one of these old things for nostalgia reasons, but my luck just
don't work that way.

If you really, really want an old TSR-80, try Greenhill School. At least
a couple years ago, they still had a computer lab full of TRS-80's, although
some (all?) may have been replaced with Macintoshes by now.

Sure, I collect the stuff. What's the number, and who do I ask for?

Dunno, it's been a while. They should be in the phone book. When I went
there, Mr. Weatherbee did most of the computer stuff, but that may have
changed since then.

I have a TRS-80 Model I in original condition, unupgraded, from about 1980.
16K RAM, and a cassette tape recorder for storage. The tape recorder is still
in use, and has been physically degraded a bit accordingly.

I have a Model 100 and a Coco3 I'd be willing to part with.

Kiwanis occasionally gets in a TRASH 80 color computer and promptly recycles
it. With software. Should we save any? It is now four years later than the
date that someone was willing to part with his TRS 100. Same for Apple IIe,
PCJr, and TI. We could not give them away. Commodore's still sell okay.

The Model 100 still has a following. (These are the portable ones that ran
off dry cells and had an LCD screen.) They're rugged, easy to carry, and
have a decent keyboard. And they run for *hours* off ordinary batteries.
I ran across a place on the Web a while back that still refurbishes and
sells the suckers.

Yeah, if you get a model 100 I'd buy it.

I, too, would be interested in a model 100. I would think you'd have no
trouble selling them. They were pretty slick little machines.

I got mine at Kiwanis some time last year. It's a neat little thing, and
quite capable. I just like to pull it out and look at it now and then. Don't
really have a use for it.

Did you get that little mini 100 they had? That was definitely cool.

They also threw in a tiny little Color Computer, which needs a TV for display.
Haven't even tried that thing. Is that what you are referring to?

Free to a good home:
A small pile of TRS CoCo basic crap. I've got a tiny, book-sized "Micro Color
Computer", with a little printer and some semi-related books. I'll throw in
a 1983 TRS brochure (good for a laugh at what stuff used to cost) and a
genuwine Radio Shack datacassette recorder. No, you won't be getting my Model
100, but I don't want to hang onto the other stuff which I don't even have
any nostalgia for.

Scotts the TRS man he snagges me a model 100 from Kiwanis, works like a charm,
I just got my null serial cable for it today to upload .txt to my pc. It's
actually useful as lighweight word processor that runs over 10 hours on 4
rechargable aa batteries, try that with your G# firewire wireless lan
potable video studio. :-)
