I have a tandy model4 and need a term program. I found
a website with all
kinds of software. Can the model 4 read a PC generated floppy?
No.
However, Jeff Vavasour has written several Tandy emulators for PC's,
including a Model 1/3/4 emulator, the CoCo 1/2 and CoCo3 emulators (I have
these... they're wonderful!) and a few others, IIRC. He has utilities that
can be used on a PC to format/read/write these formats on your PC... very
handy for xferring files this way.
I think the port utilties are freeware, but you should contact him to be
sure. I don't have his e-mail handy, but it's not too tough to find on the
web.
And check this page out that I found:
http://w3.infonorth.com/~ira/trs80-3.htm
it's full of "big stuffs!" for the Model 3. (doesn't the Mod4 emulate
the 3?)
Browsing that site, I stumbled across this:
http://w3.infonorth.com/~ira/trs80-t.htm
I believe this utility will allow you to read/write a Model 3 floppy, which
you should be able to read in your Mod4.
