Whoa. The normal Spectrum trdos format is filthy. And the imported one
memory dump, which practically ruined the program - this is what the people need:-7
I’m telling you, stereotypes need to be changed - give up hobeta little by little.

AK> I’ll give you a lesson in proper speech! an existing emulator that somehow supports the TRDOS format
(formats similar to .z80 or .tap will not help - now most programs
have sub-loads, you can’t automatically convert them to tap)

Let’s say the file name is online80.$b
;-)

Option 1. You need a Z80TRDOS emulator and hobeta and utilities hofrmt.

1) Take a floppy disk, insert it into drive A and format it:
hofrmt a: /80d

2) Launch hobeta - copy online80.$b to this diskette with the F5 key.

3) Launch z80trdos.

4) In the menu that appears, select TR-DOS and enter RUN "ONLINE80"

Note: to work with 3-inch drives you need specialversions of utilities.

Option 2. You need the Shalaev emulator and the zcop utility.

1) Create a disk image and copy the program to it:
zcop trdos.trd online80.$b

2) Launch the emulator with the “inserted” image:
spectrum trdos.trd

3) Click “Launch emulator”

4) Similarly step 4 of option 1

Option 3. You need a UKV emulator and a zcop utility version no lower than 1.0

1) Create a disk image and copy the program to it:
zcop -f trdos.fdi online80.$b

2) Launch the emulator with the “inserted” image:
sp_emu -vatrdos.fdi

3) Similar to step 4 of option 1


If there are several files, you need to copy them all in a logical order:(

Regards, Dmitry (OLDMAN).
