Dude, bless your heart. But why a T2K emulator??? It's
really just a botched up peecee lol. Phun to play
with, but I ain't sure I'd devote that much time
creating an emulator for one. To each his own though
and don't let me discourage you.
What would really be cool IMHO is a replacement for
it's weird SMC CRT controllers and FDD data seperator.
Whether concocted from discrete logic or an FPGA sort
of thing.
If you say you have the manuals, then I guess it's
done. But if you should need anything, heck I'll scan
them for you. I would say the primary source of info
on the thing is USENET or of course Google groups.
There's a few peeps on there that actually worked on
it supposedly. There also the yahoo group, and I have
to tell you there are LOADS of experts on there LOL
LOL.
I do have most of the original BIOS source code. A
few errors. The dude I got it from was working on a
primarily software "patch" for want of a better term
to make it 100% peecee compatible. He never finished
snifful. I'll pass on whatever you want from that
stash, but I'm afraid it's not much more then that.
Good luck!

Chris:
Thanks. I actually bought a complete set of manuals
from this guy in
Cleveland, including a set of boot disks. Being
temporarily bored with some
of my other projects, I thought I'd give it a go
with a Tandy 2000 emulator
using MESS. If that doesn't work, I think I have
enough random info to build
one from scratch.

I know I'm late in responding to some of this
stuph,
but here goes
What pray tell are you attempting to create an
emulator for Richard?
I do have a copy of each, but I don't think I'm
going
to be lending them out anytime soon
Took me a long time to get replacements for the
originals I guess I tossed
We can discuss this further off-list if you should
so
desire
Why me. Lord why me LOL

All:
I'm doing research for another
potential
emulation project. Does
anyone have a pointer to an electronic copy of the
Tandy Model 2000
Programmer's Reference Manual (260-5403) and the
Hardware Reference Manual
(260-5404)? Alternatively, if someone has hard
copies that I can make a copy
of, that'd work.
Thanks a lot.
