1) What model TRS-80?

2) TRS-80s used "industry standard" drives. While not quite as popular a
topic as politics or religion, it has been discussed here within the last
week. Unless it is an esthetic issue, you can substitute drives from
many other machines.

3) Do you have to have a "TRS-80 drive"? (for esthetics, museum display,
etc.?)

4) What model TRS-80? Do you need internal? Full height/half height? Do
you need a case and power supply with it? Single sided/double
sided? Some (model 1) can use 35 track OR 40 track, most others need 40
track. There are even a few models (2000, etc.) that need 80 track 96tpi.

Would you mind coercing your mailer into not putting that attachment on
your posts?
