- A couple of years ago I obtained a copy of a PD Beta-release TRS-80
- Model III emulator. The emulator looked OK, although speed was a
- problem. Unfortunately for me, my disks were all Mod 1 single density so I
- wasn't able to use it. Recently however, I've again become interested in
- getting my TRS-80 programs on an MSDOS platform via emulation.
-
- The emulator I have was written by Vincent Van Den Berghe and was (apparently)
- uploaded to Compuserve a few years ago. The documentation with the emulator
- mentions a definitive version being available in the future.
-
- Does anyone know anything about such a definitive version? Is there anyone
- out there using the Beta-version I mentioned above. If so, how good is it?
- Does it handle sound and other hardware-type functions like RS-232
- communications? Anyone know where the author is and can he be contacted?
-
- On a 33 MHZ '486, I would imagine the speed problem of the original
- emulator may not be such a problem. I'd like to keep all those programs
- of my youth such as PENETRATOR, METEOR MISSION, SEA DRAGON and SCOTT ADAMS
- adventures.

- Cheers
