Yes, a monster indeed.  I enjoyed my Model 4 way back when.  It was a good,
dependable machine.  You are faced with learning a command driven operating
system.  This is good.  Most of all the commands deal with file maintenance.
TRSDOS 6.2.0, like those before it, has a built in batch language.  That's a
good thing to learn, as well.

There used to be a publication called Computer News 80 that covered the Model
I, III and 4 series.  I recommend contacting them.  I used to advertise Club
100 in their publication with success.  Here's their info:

So, you too didn't get the TAPE100 to work, either!  I always knew it didn't
work.  I'd stop trying with that one if I were you.

Using the TPDD as a disk drive to the Model 4 sounds interesting.  I'm sure the
Model 4 can be programmed to access the drive but not directly as one of its
devices.  You'll have to devise something like a LAPDOS for the Model 4--and I
never knew of one, sorry.

Good luck... -Rick-
