   I'm working on a method to transfer them to a PC. The problem is that there   
   is no hardware interface (like rs-232 card) and disk image software, so I   
   need to start from scratch.   
   But, if they are trs80 compatible as it seems now, then there is software   
   and hw to do it.   
   Anyway, I just purchased a Catweasel interface to try to read them on Pc.   
   Instead, I already have all rom dumps and disassembled listings.   
   Unfortunately I haven't a real trs-80 to try them on it, but I should get a   
   newdos disk from a friend shortly to make a few more tests.   
      
   Also I would like to make a web site about that computer, but I never was   
   able to get some sort of permissions from the original magazine editor to   
   scan their schematics and put them online (the magazine is still active):   
   they simply doesn't answer to my emails. Due to the fact that they are still   
   alive, I'm a bit concerned about copyrights and I'm not sure how to proceed   
   (read: if to do it anyway, or not).   
      
   More in the next days... ;-)
