Part III: TRS-80 Model 4 Network 3 Auto-Boot ROM Upgrade #septandy
Part III of my SepTANDY series: TJBChris’ Tandy Education Connection (TEC). In this part, I convert one of my TRS-80 Model 4 computers into a Network 3 Student Station, allowing it to boot the Network 3 software over the serial port. Watch the process from ROM burning/installation all the way to booting over the network. This was an impromptu project early on a Thursday morning, so this video isn’t as pretty as it could be...
Music/SFX (in order):
None. Just me jabbering.
