Retrospect Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hello everyone. I've been on and off over the years with TRS-80 emulation. I used to own a model 1, with 16K level II rom and a tape deck, monitor, no expansion box but I had this Aculab Floppy Tape unit ..... I understand most people would own, or at least think of, Exatron when it comes to floppy tape. Which brings me to my question .... in emulation (TRS-32) .... what commands are used for loading and saving floppy tape images? (I remember I used to be able to load the games but this was years and years ago!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at this page, I think it will answer your questions: http://www.trs-80.org/exatron-stringy-floppy/ Do you have the esf.rom for it (to use with the emulator)?

Retrospect Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yep, I must have the ROM already in TRS32 .... I'll now attempt to load Basic III from stringy floppy Thanks for your help.

Retrospect Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) By golly that makes some noise (floppy tape loading noise)..... last time I heard that sound was in '85 and it's still better than Justin Beiber. Level III cassette basic works, good , now to find more floppy images. I seem to remember having Robot Attack on Floppy Tape.
