Well kids and kiddies I got it functioning. The int. fdd wasn't
positioning the heads close enough to the disk to read them.
Fired up the various OS -- TRSdos 2.0 A , TRSdos 4.2 , CP/M
2.25 and the apps. Scripsit, Profile+, Visicalc, several terminal
programs and some CP/M apps. including MBasic and the C asm.
Wheeee !! What fun !! BTW, it says has 64k . Don't know
about that upgrade tho. Next step is to check out these HDD s.
Thanks to all who contributed.

What software do you get with it ?
I've Pickles & .... CP/M 2.2c , TRS-Dos 1.0 and 2.1.
Under CP/M 2.x I wasn't able to work with the external DS/DD drives
with 1,2MB I only can format the disk as single sided.
Isn't it a nice videoscreen on the Modell II ...
And working with a harddisk must be great!

Nice to know there's someone else on this M-L who has one. Info
seems pretty hard to find.
The videoscreen is great. One of the first things I noticed when I
got it up and running.
Software;
TRSDOS-II v2.0 A
TRSDOS-II v4.2
Scripsit also some disks labelled Scripsit HD
Profile+ a utility type of prg
Visicalc
Teleterm 6.1 seems to be the primary term. used
Modem 7
TRS-Xenix v1.03 3 disk install set
TRS-Xenix v3.01 4 disk install set (hmm - didn't know Xenix was a
MS copyright)
CP/M Disks
Boot
CP/M56 ( ?) extended density(?) and utilities
M.G. master disk (MBasic, Wordstar, etc)
M.G backup disk with numerous other prgs.
Term Hand-labelled 1200baud with conf instr.
Term " 300 baud, TRS m.II says " for UNIVAC,
QUIK-COM, ENVOY 100, TRS m.100 "
Term H.-l. 1200 baud RS >> IBM-PC (Hard-wired !!! )
Games disk ( single density) would imply that some were double.
There were also a cpl. of head-cleaning disks and some empty ones
I haven't fired up the HDDs yet nor the ext. fdd (no time) . Who
knows what could be on there. I'll let you know. BTW could M. II use
LDISK ?
The only only original disks were the dos 1.03, 3.01, and the 1st
disks of the Xenix sets. Lots of back-ups tho.
Looks like I could spend the next 6 mo. just exploring this sys.
Don't know if I want to go that route tho. The Term prgs and the
Xenix are exciting however. My old Phillips Micom2000 W-P
has a Shugart 8' Fdd and I believe a S-100 board and a bunch of
data I'd like to transfer to a newer system if I can find a card and
term prg for it. I know they made one.
