  • NEWDOS-80 With R/S Double Density?

    From Thomas Lake@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 12 15:47:16 2018
    I have NEWDOS-80 2.0 is it possible to use it in double-density mode with the Radio Shack double density controller? If so, HOW? The manual only mentions Percom's double density controller which isn't compatible with the Radio Shack unit.

    Zap 76 will enable the Radio Shack doubler. If you don't have the zaps in your manual, they are listed on Ira's site trs-80.com

    Great! That's a big help. Thanks.
