Disk: TRS-80 ============ The TRS-80 models I, III and IV (but not the II, 100, 2000, Colour Computer or Pocket Computer) was a popular line of Z80-based home computers made by Tandy Corporation and sold by Radio Shack. There were some of the first generation of domestic micromputers, with the Model I released in 1978. There were a myriad of different floppy disk interfaces, some produced by Tandy and some by third parties, using all the various combinations of 40- and 80-track, FM, MFM, etc. Luckily the encoding scheme was mostly compatible with the IBM scheme, with a few minor variations: when using FM encoding, the TRS-80 wrote the sectors on track 17 (where the directory was) with a non-standard DAM byte. FluxEngine's IBM reader can handle TRS-80 disks natively. Reading discs ------------- Just do: ``` fluxengine read ibm -o trs80.jv3 ``` You should end up with an `trs80.jv3` of the appropriate size. It's a simple array of sectors in JV3 format. If you've got a 40-track disk, use `--cylinders=0-79x2`. If you've got a single density disk, use `--decoder.ibm.trackdata.read_fm=true`. (Double density is the default.) Useful references ----------------- - [The JV3 file format](https://www.tim-mann.org/trs80/dskspec.html): documents the most popular emulator disk image.
