Yeah.

Mom’s got the even more ancient TRS-80 boxed up in the original packaging in her garage. I think the ROMs are blown. I once ran across the TRS-DOS O/S as a downloadable binary that one could use to burn EEPROMS to replace the original PROM chips, but...time’s the constraint, as usual.

It’d be cool to get that thing back “up” again & show the domestic yutes what “technology” was like when I was their age.

Might even be able to load some files and play a game or two.

Drats.
The ‘trash 80’ was one of the first computers I messed with.
Two tone screen, green and black.
