I found Superutility (a self-booting disk on the M/M3, but I think it was 
a normal TRS-DOS program on the M4) to be very useful for this sort of 
thing. I still ahve my M4 sert up to run that. It will let you read/write 
any disk that the disk controller is physcially capable of handling.

There was a program called TRScross (or something like that) to read/write
CP/M disks under TRS-DOS. Very useful...

And somewhere I have a program caleld BBCdisk to read/write BBC micro 
(Acorn DFS) disks.

There were also other programming langages available. Pascal-80 was wuite 
nice (I don;t mean tiny pascal), and MMSforth.  I think RS sold Microsoft 
Fortran and Cobol.
