A Tribute to the Dick Smith System 80
(aka Video Genie and PMC-80/81)

Favourite System 80 Literature


Like other classic computers, the TRS-80 spawned a number of books and magazines snapped up by eager users hungry for information. 

System 80 users found this literature of great value too. The links above explore my own favourite writings, from the folksy, homegrown Micro-80 (probably the only magazine that actually supported the System 80 itself) to several of the books I consulted to delve into the mysteries of the machine.

This list has just a few entries but if you are a TRS-80/System 80 owner from those times, I'm sure they will jog a few of those 16k memory cells. 

A few of the images are linked to PDF files, which can be viewed or printed. I obtained these copies from www.trs-80.com which holds many books, magazines and other resources. Many thanks to site administrator Ira Goldklang, and to whoever scanned them.
