Thanks for all of your corrections, it's been some
time since I worked daily with a TRS-80 Model
I/III/IV.
I sold my 4p several years ago (where most of my Model
IV experience comes from).
I agree with you vis-a-vis the floppies. Maybe the
drive is just off speed, and needs a head cleaning.
It could be worse off.
Drive speed can be roughly adjusted using the decal on
the motor and adjusting the pot on the speed board
with a non-ferrous screwdriver (like a TV Adjustment
tool).
I think when I go to Trenton next May, I'll keep my
eye out for a Model III or IV.
Thanks again!
