TRS-80 Model III

My beauty! Serial number 195 from the early 1980s.

Okay, after all these years, some keys refused to work proper. So I repaired them.

To get into business I had to create floppy disks, and a simulation is better and faster for testing.

What now? A connection to "now" would be nice. I needed a serial board.

To get the real feeling of these "old days" it should work as a terminal to another computer. With Linux there is agetty.

But that old Kermit with its VT52 emulation is a little out dated. The current version of C-Kermit would be better.
There is a "Small Devices C Compiler" (SDCC) available.

But how do I get the output (Intel HEX) into a working file on my TRS-80? A HEX2CMD Tool would fit perfect.

Even a model III can use cassettes to store and load programs and data. The hardware, used for that, I describe at the model I.

... let's see, what gets into my mind next.
