[vcf-midatlantic] Museum report

[Dean Notarnicola]

SD card options exist for TRS-80 model 1 but they tend to be expensive.
There is the MISE and of course the FreHD.

I have heard that the Gotek drive emulator works with the Model 1 but I
have not had a chance to flash mine with the proper firmware to test this
yet. I will try it and reply to this thread. These are
relatively inexpensive and can be easily moved between computers.
