(CPD), Irvine, CA. Lines: 30 I got the new 1989 Tandy catalog and it had a Model 4D in it. I bought a model 4 recently and would like to upgrade it to model 4D. My question is this: Is the only difference the DOUBLE sided drives ? If I put 2 48 tpi (PC XT types) Double sidded drives into my model 4 will the disk controller know how to handle it ? Does TRS-DOS 6.2 or LSI-DOS 6.2/3 know ? I've only ,up to this point, run model 3 software on the thing because when I got it, the person had it in storage for years and had lost all of the software for it including TRS-DOS. I have a friend that has a model 1 and some of the software he has bought has come with model 1 and 3 diskettes. He gave me the model 3 stuff. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + ####### ####### ### C O M P U T E R |....+--------+.....+ + ### ## ### ## ### |....| PAUL |.....+ + ### ### ### C O N S O L E S |....| MOREAU |.....+ + ### ## ### ## ### |....+--------+.....+ + ####### ####### ### Incorporated |___________________+ +_____________________________________________________________+ + + + (Never count your chickens before they rip your lips off) + + + + 4.2 > SysV This ,of course, is my own opinion. + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Accident: A condition in which presence of mind is good, but absence of body is better. -- Foolish Dictionary
