Wow, I actually got my name specifically mentioned in a question
post.... yipppeeee! Anyway, Larry there could be several things you
could try. First, your DOS disk may not be readable anymore... that
often happens these days on those classics. Second, alignment of the
boot disk drive may be out. Have you been able to get 'anything' to come
up on the screen? Any errors or anything.
Give me another reply, and let me know in more detail what you have
going on. If nothing else, I can get you a known good 8" floppy boot
diskf or the little bigger, and we'll give that a try.
Good luck, and get back to me,

There seems to be a lot of info on Mods. 1,3,100,Coco etc. but nada
on this beast. Any sites I might have missed ? Merch , Cord ?
What I have is a TRS Model II with 1 internal 8' fdd and 1 external
fdd , 3 humungous 5Meg hdd ( about the size of a large XT) , K-B ,
TRS model 7 modem , and a box of 8" disks with CP/M 2.2 , TRSOS,
Scripsit and a bunch of other prgms.
When I boot up with or without an OS disk I get a "boot error ht'
msg. The dd spins up and sounds like its loading. Could it have been
set up to boot off one of the hard drives ? I'm really a novice with
TRS-80s but have Coco 1 and 2 in my collection and a Scriptsit cart.
Is there something I'm not doing ?
ciao larry
