New Manuals and Documents (18 October, 2008, 09:21 AM)

I have just got the new high speed Canon CanoScan 8800F scanner and have tried it out on some TRS-80 documentation that I have been putting off for ages. The old scanner was SO slow that I tried it only a couple of times and didn't bother going any further. With the new scanner, for about 3 hours of scanning effort I have scanned 50 manuals, 6 reviews and 8 other documents and of course, they have been uploaded for your enjoyment.

*Update - I have added some more since yesterday including the Zork I, II and III manuals!

Sorting out some problems... (25 September, 2008, 10:33 AM)

The site has slowly disappeared into a myriad of spam bot postings and after an email from my hosting company telling me that the site was clogging up the database server it was time to clean out the dross.

That has now been done!

It's been a really hectic year with very little time available to put into the TRS-80 hobby and web site. Let's hope I can get some time to blow the cobwebs off the TRS-80's and add some more material.

New Categories and Downloads (08 January, 2008, 08:44 AM)

Added a new catalog called 'Tips and Tricks'.

Added a new download category for manuals.

The manuals that are uploaded will be in PDF format and kept to a small file size, but in all cases the text of the manuals WILL be selectable and searchable. Whilst I do try to proofread the OCR'd text, I am bound to miss some typos etc. The OCR can also get tripped up on code listings so check any 'cut and pasted' code from a manual carefully. The smaller manuals will be in the 'image over text' format which retains the look of the original manuals whilst larger manuals are likely to be text only format as non-ocr'd manuals are generally available elsewhere. This will be a slow process as OCRing each document is a fairly labour intensive exercise.
