We cover some recent acquisitions by the Trash Talkers. We discuss some of the upcoming vintage computer shows happening later this year. We review the book “To Catch a Mouse Make a Noise Like a Cheese” by Lew Korfeld. We then discuss the March 1982 issue of "80 Micro" magazine. Finally, we talk to Arno Puder about his latest projects, including TRS-IO and PocketTRS.</p><p><span><br /></span><b>Trash Talkers</b><br /><br /></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Peter Cetinski</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ian Mavric</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Eric Dittman</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Aaron Brockbank</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">George Phillips </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Arno Puder</span></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><b>News and Current Events</b></p><div style="text-align: left;">Passing of John Roach<br /><a href="https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/fort-worth/article259598229.html">https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/fort-worth/article259598229.html</a><br /><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/23/technology/personaltech/john-roach-dead.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/23/technology/personaltech/john-roach-dead.html</a><br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> <br /></span>Join the Tandy Discord</div><div style="text-align: left;">Send us an email for an invite!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />The TRS-80 role in WarGames<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">What’s new in trs80gp 2.4.7<br /><a href="http://48k.ca/trs80gp.html">http://48k.ca/trs80gp.html</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">trs8bit competition is underway<br /><a href="http://www.trs-80.org.uk/page5.html">http://www.trs-80.org.uk/page5.html</a></div><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Upcoming Events</b></p><p>VCF West - Aug 6-7</p><div><a href="https://vcfed.org/wp/events/vintage-computer-festival-west/">https://vcfed.org/wp/events/vintage-computer-festival-west/</a><br /><br /></div><div>Tandy Assembly 2022 - Sep30 - Oct 2<br /><a href="http://www.tandyassembly.com">http://www.tandyassembly.com</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><p><b>Recent Acquisitions</b></p><div><div>Pete's One of a kind all-in-one TRS-80</div><div><a href="https://discord.com/channels/458077089493680160/925451774062641192/948714942016667709">https://discord.com/channels/458077089493680160/925451774062641192/948714942016667709</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Pete's Video Genie with Expansion Interface</div><div><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/254658755995">https://www.ebay.com/itm/254658755995</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Ian visited Canada, picked up a Coco 2, visited e-waste site in St Catherines, ON and a deceased Estate clearance of vintage computer gear.</div><div><br /></div><div>Eric's System-80 Mk II and expansion interface from Ian.</div><div><br /></div><div>Eric's unused Model I/III anti-glare screen</div><div><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/165380892244">https://www.ebay.com/itm/165380892244</a></div></div><p><br /></p><p><b>Book Review</b></p><p>“To Catch a Mouse Make a Noise Like a Cheese”</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/tocatchmousemake00korn">https://archive.org/details/tocatchmousemake00korn</a></p><div><br /></div><p><b>Magazine Review</b></p><p>80 Micro Magazine</p><p>#27 March 1982</p><p><a href="https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Documents/Magazines/80%20Micro/1982/80%20Micro%20-%208203%20-%20March%201982.pdf">https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Documents/Magazines/80%20Micro/1982/80%20Micro%20-%208203%20-%20March%201982.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Main Topic: TRS-IO and PockeTRS with Arno Puder</b></p><div>Discussion with Arno about the history, current status and future directions of his projects.<br />These are the projects that were mentioned in the podcast:<br /><br /></div><div>TRS-80 Emulator for Android<br /><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.puder.trs80 ">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.puder.trs80 </a><br /><br /></div><div>The RetroStore<br /><a href="https://retrostore.org/">https://retrostore.org/</a><br /><br /></div><div>TRS-IO for the Model I/III<br /><a href="https://github.com/apuder/TRS-IO">https://github.com/apuder/TRS-IO</a><br /><br /></div><div>PocketTRS<br /><a href="https://github.com/apuder/PocketTRS">https://github.com/apuder/PocketTRS</a><br /><br /></div><div>TRS-LIB<br /><a href="https://github.com/apuder/TRS-LIB">https://github.com/apuder/TRS-LIB</a></div><div><br /></div>pskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17894821241959271275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727991518589392049.post-78751403271255625942022-04-24T11:35:00.006-07:002022-04-24T11:35:45.925-07:00TRS-80 Trash Talk Live #24 is Saturday, April 30th at 9pm Eastern<p>TRS-80 Trash Talk Live #24 will be taking place on Saturday, April 30th at 9pm Eastern.
