   Thanks for posting that, Frank - the TRS-80 4P was my first 'desktop'   
   computer which I bought back around 1985 when T/RS was trying to get rid   
   of them (my experience with its less than robust display coupled by   
   RS marketing practises really soured me on Tandy hardware).   
   It was worth while though as a learning experience :)   
      
   I really wish Logical Systems/MISOSYS had offered an LS-DOS/86 for the   
   IBM-PC platform (with enhancements to take advantage of the additional RAM   
   and address space ); anyone hazard a guess why that never happened?   
      
   So which entity would care at this late date about the code in the TRS   
   ROMS (MODELA/III)?   
   Microsoft? Whoever wound up with the bankrupt corpse of AST?   
      
   Was the BASIC in the TRS-80 I/III ROMS a work-for-hire where Tandy had all   
   the rights;   
   or did Microsoft retain rights ?
