These pages are devoted to the Model T:
TRS-80 Model 100, Tandy Model 102, KC-85, NEC 8201A, NEC 8300, Olivetti M10, Tandy Model 200, and the WP-2
Tandy Disk Drive and Emulators
TPDD emulators, in concert with a compatible disk clients like TS-DOS, TEENY, POWR-DOS, FLOPPY.CO, the Booster Pak, or the WP-2 built-in Diskette client are the most "advanced" way to accurately and quickly transfer all file types including binary files to and from your Model T laptop. There are different options for the server side on modern operating systems and devices:
Servers
LaddieCon is a TPDD emulator for Windows written in C#.Net.
DLPilot is a TPDD emulator for PalmOS devices.
DLPlus is a TPDD emulator for Linux, BSD, and MacOSX.
Clients
TEENY is a very small RAM-based TPDD client
Real TPDD and TPDD-2: Differences
- They are different in that the TPDD 1 is a 100K disk format, and the TPDD 2
uses a 200 K format.
- The TPDD 1 has dip switches that must be manipulated during boot and the
TPDD 2 doesn't have this requirement.
- The TPDD 1 can only read a 100 k disk where the TPDD 2 can use either one.
- They both have the same battery and PS requirements as all of the Model T's.
- They use the same cable.
- They both are usable on all 3 of the Model T's.
- They are similar in that they only need a single sided disk.
- Yes the boot disk for each which is specific to the drive must be loaded
into the computer before use but there are alternative OS's available which have various load requirements.
- They have different protocols for raw sector access mode. The file access mode is very similar
Simple Text File Transfer (No Client)
You can use any "terminal program" to transfer text files to and from your Model T laptop. Here are some tutorials:
Text File Transfer using Hyperterminal
Text File Transfer to Mac using Z-Term
Model T Software
VirtualT Model 100/102, T200, NEC 8201A, M10 emulator
mtcpm CP/M for the Tandy 100/102/200
Model T Hardware Hacks and Troubleshooting
Splitting the Model 100/102/200 case
Recovering an Unresponsive Laptop
International Keyboard Support

REX is a flash OptROM emulator/switcher
REX2 is a upcoming flash OptROM emulator/switcher with support for a 64K all-RAM mode. This permits running with a patched main ROM, or the upcoming mtcpm (Model T CP/M)
