I have PC-4. It works with most things, but not everything. It's true
that it needs no other operating system. It looks very like LDOS.

You need PC-Crosszap (name?) from Hypersoft to convert from Tandy to PC
disk formats (or something on the TRS). The version I have is rather old,
and doesn't support higher resolution PC formats, but does the job of 
conversion (as long as Double Density is involved) quite well. I beleive
the single density formats are technically impossible to read with normal
PC drives.

Partly ditto. Neither I nor anyone I know have any connexion to Hypersoft.
As far as I know, Philips doesn't own Hypersoft either :-)
