Here is what you need to do. Go to David Keil's TRS-80 emulator web page. Get the emulator for the
model IV, and get it running on your PC.

David has disk images for everything you want, including CP/M. When you get the emulator running with
the CP/M disk image, you can make real disks with your PC (assuming you have a 5.25" double-density
drive on your PC). A high density drive can work, but there are some limitations and cautions, because the
tracks are narrower.

This should get you going. Dave has many documents as well.
