Need information on TRSDOS 1.3 internals - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

4 Dec 2002

Sellam,

I have the set of "inside the TRS-80 xxxx" books.  I'm sure that the TRSDOS
1.3 is included.

I'll have a look.

I can scan anything that you need.

 Subject: Need information on TRSDOS 1.3 internals

 Does anyone have any documentation on the data structures of 
 TRSDOS 1.3?
 Specifically, I'd like to know the catalog structure, as well as the
 scheme for storing files across multiple sectors.

 I'm trying to pull some old word processor and perhaps 
 spreadsheet files
 off some TRSDOS disks using a PC.  I already found a utility called
 READDISK that reads TRS-80 disks on a PC and it worked great. 
  Now I need
 to extract the files from the image.

 Is this data published in any of the TRS-80 DOS manuals?
