TRS 80 Model III

TRS 80 Model III ( Model Number: 26-1062) - 02 
	   
The model 3 is generally regarded as the successor to the Model 1.
Its two 5.25" floppy disk drives can convert model 1 disks. 

However, It wasn't FULLY compatible with the model 1.
There were differences in ROM which meant some programs had to be converted,
especially those machine language ones that made ROM calls.

Actually this collection was a tip from the guy in Wervik,
he didn’t have the time to go to Schepdaal and so we made a deal.

I would buy the stuff and give him the Videopac with the games.

One problem though: the videopac didn’t work, I gave him one of mine
and I got a Tandy TRS80 200 Laptop.

Good Guy !

When I unpacked everything I noticed I didn’t got the Chess 
and Home Computer Module.

I collected them on 15/07/2002
