Hey guys!
You may want to check out the Computer News 80 website at
www.cnpublishing.com for information on software for the TRS80, as well
as TRS80 Model 4s for sale etc.

Subject: Re: DosPlus for the Model IV
Does anyone have a copy of DOS-Plus for the
TRS
model 4 that they can send me? I picked up a 4 last
weekend with no SW or docs and I already have
DOS-Plus SW and manuals for the model 1.

Joe,
I don't have DosPlus for the Model IV that I know of
(I might, somewhere..). But, I can recommend highly
Multidos for the Model IV.
I don't have the link handy, but if you search for it,
you can find it.
It's still availble for purchase in the $30.00 range
last time I checked, and it is an Alternate OS for the
TRS-80 that incorporates a lot of the strong points of
DosPlus, including 80 Column support while in non CP/M
mode.
It's a nice OS, and the DISK BASIC is faster and
smaller and more feature rich than most of the other
ones available for the TRS-80.
I remember porting my Copy of Connection-80 over to it
(we renamed our custom version, Nybbles-80), and it
was MUCH faster under Multidos than under Newdos/80,
TRS-DOS or DosPlus, and I was able to take advantage
of several MultiBASIC features to make it nicer...
Boy, those were the days.
I'm on the lookout for an LNW-80 Computer that works
to set up a system again. I'm going to keep watch in
April at the Trenton Computer Festival for a Model IV
or Model III in the Flea Market.
Regards,
Al
