She is built and running. Don you must remember NewDos on the TRS80 that brings back memory's we even had one booting off a 5MB (yip 5MB) hard disk. Regards John G'day John, Glad I pointed you in the right direction on that one. NewDos, hell yes. A big improvement over Trash DOS, as we called it. And I'll imagine that the 5Mb drive in those days cost about $2299AUD. I remember buying the TRS-80 Z80 Editor Assembler on audio tape that was a 13K file length, and took 8 minutes to load via a standard Radio Shack audio deck. Then I got a stringy floppy tape that loaded the same thing in about 8 seconds. Maximite would do the same thing from SD card in the micro to milli-second range, I would think.
