My first TRS-80 !!!

[tep392]

I just made a FB Marketplace purchase for my first TRS-80!  I used these in the computer lab back in high school, but have never owned one.  The seller told me that it didn't work but were asking $75, so I figured I would take a chance.  It's in great cosmetic condition and has two floppy drives and 48k, so very well equipped. Turns out it does work but the monitor was misadjusted.  She mentioned it turning on but turning off after a second.  I'm thinking she was looking at the floppy drive LED.

 

Now I just need to make up some disks and try booting it up.  So where is a good place to find floppy images?

Congrats and welcome to the TRS-80 family.  You can get some DOS disks here: https://www.trs-80.com/wordpress/diskette-request-form/

Thank you!  I forgot to mention that it has an Atari joystick attached to it.  I took a closer look and found a small interface board plugged into the bottom of the machine.  An Alpha Stick-80.  So I should be all set for some arcade gaming.

That machine is in excellent condition from the looks of it and you got a hell of a deal!
