Supposedly, it is still possible to get the update to TRSDOS to fix this from Tandy, however it is not necessary. Go to Tim Mann's web page, where he has available for download the final release of LS-DOS, which has the fix. http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/trs80.html Oh, and while you're there, and if you run Linux or any other flavor of *nix, grab a copy of his newest improved xtrs TRS-80 emulator. I am now running Model One Scripsit and VisiCalc on my P133 notebook with no need to use dosemu as a go-between as was the case with the other emulators I'd tried.
