I spent a few minutes today trying to figure out how to launch BASIC from a TRS80 DOS disk, it must be the equivalent of trying to get out of VIM. ;-)
I don't own a TRS80, but a friend has a Model3 and 4P
- prometheus76 4y agoIf you don't put a disk into a Model 3 (I had one when I was a kid), you'll boot to a Ready> prompt, which is a BASIC environment built into the ROM. No disk needed!
