What I want to point out is that the price of
a OS isn't just the package you buy at a shop.
It's about the time you spend in installing and
trying and reconfiguration etc.

So, to come back on topic, the best for a TRS-80
emulator is still DOS. Install it, or even boot
from a Disk. You could even put the emulator
and DOS and some TRS-Apps on one 1.44 bootdisk.
And best of all - Disk access will be Disk access.

Gruss
