SD-CARD contents starter files ZIP

(Contains LS-DOS 6.3.1, LDOS 5.3.1*, NEWDOS/80 2.5*, CP/M 2.2, and frehd.rom)

Model 4 Gate Array, 4D U4 (ROM B/C) EPROM (2764) FreHD auto-boot BIN

Model 4P (single ROM) EPROM (2732) FreHD auto-boot BIN

NOTE 1: for the M4GA, 4D, and 4P require soldering wires from an oversized EPROM to various points on your TRS-80 motherboard.  You need to have soldering ability and be able to follow instructions.  The modification is reversible if you run into troubles - remove the oversized EPROM and clip off the added wires and you can return your computer to normal.

 

NOTE 2: the NF6X adapter board works well if you want to install both the Auto-Boot Eprom into a Model 4 Gate Array or 4D and flick between them with a switch.  For more information check the NF6X website.  Again you need to be able to solder but the end result is a neat little modification.  Thanks Mark.
