xtrs 4.3, a TRS-80 emulator for Unix and X

[Please email me if you feel this announcement is not appropriate for the classiccmp mailing list.] You can now get xtrs version 4.3, a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator for Unix and the X Window System, from my TRS-80 Web pages: http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html Version 4.3 adds emulation of the serial port (connecting to a Unix tty device), and of both Radio Shack and Micro Labs hi-res graphics cards for the Model III. There are also several small bug fixes. See the included ChangeLog for details. Thanks to the folks who sent me information on Model III graphics cards in response to my request in the xtrs 4.2 announcement! Now I have another request: can anyone send me specs for TRS-80 joysticks? General xtrs blurb: xtrs is a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator for Unix and the X Window System. It includes lower case, the real time clock, hi-res graphics, serial port, parallel printer, mouse, cassette, sound and music output (requires OSS), 5" and 8" floppy disk drives in single and double density, and even hard disk drives. The emulated floppy and hard disk file formats are compatible with the popular MSDOS-based emulators by Jeff Vavasour, Matthew Reed, and David Keil, and (if you choose a capable enough file format), all features of the original TRS-80 floppy disk controller are emulated. Under Linux, physical floppy disk drives are also supported. Physical cassettes can be read and written too. The user interface is a bit spartan, but it gets the job done.
