TRS-80 Model 4


General
TRS-80 Model IV
  • Model 4: Non-Gate Array
  • Catalog: 26-1069
  • Picture Tube: Early version Black and White, later version Green
  • RS-232 Port Direction: Faces the bottom of the unit (i.e., down)
  • Arrow Keys: Early version, not clustered (up/down and left/right were on 2 different sides of the motherboard), later version, clustered arrow keys
  • Implementation of I/O: Disk Drive Controller, Sound Card (for beeping), and RS-232 were implemented via daughterboard
  • Socketed? Processor was socketed (so that it could be replaced with a Z800 when/if it came out, which it never did) and Z800 support chips were present.
  • Memory Manager: Programmable Logic Array (PAL)

  • TRS-80 Model IV
  • Model 4: Gate Array
  • Catalog: 26-1069A
  • Picture Tube: Green
  • RS-232 Port Direction: The RS-232 port faces the back of the unit (i.e., out)
  • Arrow Keys: Mostly Clustered, some versions may have non clustered arrow keys. Why clustered? Lore has it that Tandy was trying to copy Apple’s keyboard layout. Difficulty in playing games with clustered arrows, however, resulted in later models being changed back to non-clustered.
  • Implementation of I/O: Disk Drive Controller, Sound Card (for beeping), and RS-232 were on the motherboard
  • Socketed? Processor was socketed, but Z800 support was dropped
  • Memory Manager: Gate Array

  • TRS-80 Model 4D
  • Model 4: “D”
  • Catalog: 26-1070
  • Picture Tube: Green
  • Is the “D” for Double Sided Drives? NO! It’s for DeskMate.
  • RS-232 was moved to face out rather than down.

  • TRS-80 Model 4P
  • Model 4: “P”
  • Catalog: 26-1080
  • P=’Portable’ (luggable). It has no Model III ROMS. You would know one if you saw one.

    Network 4 Operating Software. 26-2773 $230.00 The Network 4 Shared Learning Svstem will add flexibility and economy to your computer lab or classroom. Our new Network 4 System incporates some of the most advanced networking techonology available to make shared computer learning possible for large groups. Using a twisted pair cable, the Network 4 lets you connect up to 63 TRS-80 Model III or Model 4 computers to a central host computer with a hard disk drive. The student stations can then share the hard disk, each station operating virtually as a stand-alone system. Each user can quickly access a set of teacher-designated programs and data from the hard disk. Information can be sent from station to statsion without using the hard disk and reports can be printed on a printer at the host computer.

    How it Works. The storage capacity of the host computer’s hard disk drive is divided into “volumes” to serve as diskettes for storage by the individual stations. Students in the network can use up to four of these volumes at any time for class activities. Teachers use the system manager’s program to create student “accounts.” These accounts allow students various levels of access to the teacher-specified volumes.

    Network 4 System Requirements. A Network 4 system requires a Model 4 host (requires Master Upgrade Kit), a 15-megabyte hard disk, Network 4 Operating Software, cables and 64K Model 4 student stations. Model III or Model 4 systems can be upgraded with a Student Station Upgrade Kit.

    Network 4 Operating Software. This specially designed operating software enables student stations to access the hard disk drive and printer of the central host computer. Software includes a program that executes in the host computer and a modified version of TRSDOS 1.3 (with BASIC) to execute in the stations

    One Response to “TRS-80 Computers: TRS-80 Model 4”

    1. Duane Williams says:

      Looking for pinout of the RS232 port on the bottom of a TRS80 Model 4, and the parallel port on the some machine.

      There are two ports (edge connectors) on the bottom, one printer, the other serial.

      Would you happen to have that info?

      Thanks
