- You all are not going to believe this but someone I know is still operating
- there company on a old Tandy Model II. I rember back in 1979 when he bought
- it. It must be the fact the he paid $4500 for the 8.5meg hard drive disk unit
- , this is why he is still using the system. I can think of no other reason.
- Well, his hard disk crashed the other day. We tried to recover the
- data, but I have no utilities for the trsdos. Nor, do I have much knowledge of
- how Radio Shack Machine work or save data. I know that during there time these
- machine were considerally popular. This means that there must be some software
- library out there somewhere. I know that the chance of finding some
- kind of data recovery utilities is about as good as winning lotto America.
- But I had a extrabuck laying around and thought that I would take a chance.
-
- The information that I have on the system is this. It is a model II.
- with TRSDOS II Version 4.1. The hard drive is a 8 meg drive and there are also
- a 3 bay disk unit. The error that is occuring on the hard drive is error 4 CRC
- error during disk i/o operation.
-
- If I don't here from someone, I guess that we will just make it giant
- paper weight. I would leave my internet address, but I don't know how much
- longer this account will be active. I will just keep checking back in this
- news group.

- Peace
