 Thanks for such a great site. Helped me revive a Blue Label System 80 that I have installed a 64K upgrade on.
Again, thanks for the great site. This computer was my first and meant a lot to me. Spent many a night playing games and writing programs on it. I have many good memories about it.
Cheers, Geoff
Terry Stewart:
I'm glad the site was of use Geoff. Thanks for leaving a message.

You have a very nice web site for vintage computers. I have a number of them and enjoy using them including my TRS-80 Model I.
Terry Stewart:
Thanks. The Model 1 will always be a favourite of mine as my first computer was the System 80, a Model 1 clone.

Hi Terry,
I'm pleased to see such a nice collection of infos about my very first computer, the Video Genie I from TCS. I still have mine (heavily modified and supposedly in non working order).
You mention the Genie III and IIIs. Since I was working on GDOS extensions for TCS, I do have both. The disk controller on my III has failed, but the IIIs is still working. I only need a reliable link to my PC to save all my disks (with original source code for what TCS was delivering.)
Greetings
Marcus
Terry:
Good luck with the project Marcus.

Dear Terry Stewart,
I'm getting a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1 microcomputer for Christmas. I want to eventually increase the internal RAM memory size of the Model 1 keyboard from 4K to 48 or 64K, whichever is possible.
Could you please send me some regular Radio Shack Model 1 type cassette data tapes with software programs, arcade and applications, on them to me at 1 Wilson Street, Barre Town, Vermont 05641. Thank you.
Terry Stewart:
Hi Keith,
Congratulations on your Model 1. It’s a great classic machine.
Sorry, I won’t post software out. However, if you go to the software stable --> cassette images part of the System 80 site you’ll find some cassette images and links to a program which will let you make real tapes from those images.
Terry

I have a Commodore SX64 that has never been out of the box and was wondering how much it is worth?

Your site is an invaluable resource for TRS-80 enthusiasts in the USA as well!
I did notice one game manual URL glitch -- the Spook House/Toxic Dumpsite file does not seem to be available at the URL listed.
I tried replacing the ampersand character with the URL code and the word "and" but to no avail.
Any clarification would be much appreciated, at your convenience, of course.
Thanks again for preserving so much valuable history.
Terry:
Thanks for those kind words.
Broken links now fixed.

System 80 modifications. Yes, I can confirm that that the internal expansion boards for the System 80 did have a printer port. I built and installed the expansion boards in my system 80 (which I still have). Used to run a BBS system on it in the early days of Bulletin boards when I lived in Auckland.
Terry Stewart:
Cool. Any pictures?
Murray, I'd like to know more about these for the website. Can you drop me an email.

Hey.
I'm sitting with a broken CBM 3032. The problem might be the ROMS. In socket "UD5" is a 901465-23, in "UD6" 901465-20, in "UD7" 901465-21, in "UD8" 901474-02 and in "UD9" ? 545?...
Do You have a c64 floppydisk with the correct and working ROM data in binary files I could borrow/buy. I'm lucky to own a SX-64 with a EPROM burning hardware
I'm looking forward to hear from You. Thanks for a greath HP...
Greetings from Frank
Terry Stewart:
Yes, I can help with this. Email sent.

I was just about to download a few of the System-80 'Micro-80' mags, and they're coming up with file errors... If you have them somewhere else, or can email them to me, I can host them reliably for you, without bandwidth constraints.
Terry Stewart:
Hi Robert,
Yes, I have a rented server for the documents I have on this site. This server gives me 20GB of traffic a month which I thought would be enough. Five days into the June 2009 monthly cycle though all 20GB was used up!! I now have to wait until the next reset in early July.
Thanks for the offer. I'm going to explore alternatives in case it happens again, and will bear it in mind. Until early July, 2009 if you (or anyone else) wants a specific document you can't get from the site, just email me and I'll get it on an FTP server for you.

Terry Stewart:
Actually it is 25GB a month!

Great site. Many thanks for the Bits & Bytes scans.
Issue 3.1 download link need changing to 2.12 as the link gives a "missing file server error"
anyway,
kind regards from the Jupiter Ace Archive Team.
www.jupiter-ace.co.uk
Terry (Tez):
Hi Steve,
Thanks, I appreciate the correction. Good to hear you enjoy the scans. (Somebody must be enjoying them because my 25GB monthly allocation has just been used up in 5 days! The documentation I have on the site must be more popular than I thought!).
P.S. The Jupiter Ace is one I want in my collection (-:
