- Call MISOSYS (1-800-misosys) and buy LS-DOS 6.3.1. Model 4 TRSDOS 6
- is LS-DOS with the Radio Shack name (as PC-DOS is to MS-DOS). This
- is the latest version (released last year). I believe it is $39.

- If you want TRSDOS 1.3, you will have to go to Radio Shack. I would
- suggest getting LDOS 5.3.1 from MISOSYS. It works almost exactly like
- LS-DOS, but in Model 3 mode. It blows TRSDOS 1.3 out of the water.
- (some Model 3 software will only run under TRSDOS 1.3, though).

- I believe Computer News 80 has Montezuma Micro CPM 2.2. This is your
- best bet. Radio Shack CPM was based on CPM version 3.0. I've heard
- a lot of complaints about the Radio Shack port of it (never used it myself).
