I like the idea of the TRS80 Model 16. (part of the model 2/12/15 family
of 8" drive based machines)
Unlike model 1/3/4, which have LOTS of reverse engineering and stuff
written, the model 2 TRS-DOS is very UNDER-documented. (Talk to Eric!)
But, the Z80 side of it (model 2) will run CP/M, and has several different
implementations, including Lifeboat, Pickles & Trout, etc.
TRS80 was not well respected. I gravely offended an acquaintance by
asking him to compare his new Cromemco Z80/68000 system to the TRS80-16.
