 | | When it was connected to a floppy disk unit, the TRS-80 uses the TRS DOS operating system, it was pretty bugged and most of the TRS-80 users prefered NEW DOS, it was an operating system done by a third-party company called Apparat. | | | The Tandy TRS 80 model 1 was the first member of one of the most famous computer family. | | | The Model1 was followed by the TRS 80 model II (a business computer) and model III which had almost the same characteristics as the model I.

| | Tandy provided a version of TRS-DOS, but the superior operating systems were LS-DOS by Logical Systems or NEW-DOS 80. | | | The original was introduced as a TRS-80 Model I clone, the specifications were a 4Mhz., Z80A CPU, with Hi-Rez color graphics of 480 x 192, and could support full 80 column display this unit was complete with dual 5.25' double sided floppies. | | | (c) LNW-80 with it's green phosphor 80 column display without the 5.25" floppy modification. |
