Well I finally gave in and went to our local Tandy Computer Center for
Orange County (Garden Grove CA.) and asked about TRS-DOS 6.2 and manuals
which were in the 1989 Tandy Catalog.   The salesman (shoe store ?) said
that they had just sold the last one a month ago (funny, I called a month
ago and they said that they haven't had them for years).  They sugested
That I call there 800 number in Fort Worth Texas and order it from them.
So today I called texas and tried to place an order.   They said that they
no longer carry anything for the model 4.   I know I can get a copy of
LSI-DOS 6.3 from an outside vendor but I needed to get 6.2 so that I could
get the MANUAL.  No luck.   What gives?  Why is the model 4D and software
in thier 1989 catalog.  I tried to order the TRS-DOS by using the catalog
part number and they said the the number was invalid.   There sugestion
was to call around the nation to all the Radio Shack dealers and see if maybe
one of them might have a copy that they can blow the dust off and sell me.
Am I out of luck ?????
A while ago even a couple of people who worked at Tandy in Texas mailed a
responce to an earlier posting, one even going as far as to give me the
part number in which they carried software in.   I lost (trashed) the reply
so if anybody from Tandy reading this (or anybody else for that matter) can
help me, let me know.   I bought the system from a garage sale from a person
who's business went under, and had the thing in storage for years.  He had
lost all of the software and manuals over that period (except the quick
reference guide and some Service paperwork) and all I got was the system.
I sure would like to use this system.  I got a copy of TRS-DOS Model III
stuff but that is slow and in low resolution.   I am a programmer and would
like to write some applications for the thing (even in basic if I have to).

The USA is so enormous, and so numerous are its schools, colleges and
religious seminaries, many devoted to special religious beliefs ranging
from the unorthodox to the dotty, that we can hardly wonder at its
yielding a more bounteous harvest of gobbledegook than the rest of the
world put together.
