I can guarantee that no 80-track drive was ever officially supported
in a Model 4 or any other Tandy Z-80 platform, no matter what the
documentation might have implied once TRSDOS-6 (and LDOS) became
official products. That's like letting on that OS-9 Level One could
be used by more than one person on the same 64k TRS-80 Color Computer
the way I demonstrated in my classroom in the Radio Shack Computer in
downtown Los Angeles back in 1984. (Or was that late '83? Damn, this
senility is a bitch to deal with -- the AT was still vapourware).
