Hi,

I’ve managed to extract a few Exatron Stringy Floppy programs off
wafer that may be of interest. They have been put on virtual wafers
and can be found at this URL
http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/system-80/software_esf_archive.htm

I’ve got a lot more wafers to work through so it’s likely the number
there will increase. In particular I’m looking for patched versions
of standard TRS-80 M1 standards like Scripsit, EDTASM and Electric
Pencil etc. If you can help with these please let me know.

I’ve also detailed the method I used to get these in case it’s of use
to anyone else. You can see that here:

Cheers

It's great to see all this ESF activity now that Matt's trs32 emulator
includes support for them.

Curious if anyone has seen the Model III ESF ROM and if it's much
different than the ESF Model 1 ROM.

Hmm... just found about Matthew Reed's new ESF extention for his
emulator. I have a few programs and manuels just gathering dust (my
A&J drive [flat faced ABS plastic] got lost years ago).
I have copies of:
Exatron stringy floppy users manual
for models I and III
june 1982
ESF advanced programmer's guide with
listing of ESF rom 4.1 and ESF data I/O
A listing of Z80 ESF FIG forth ver 1.0
and an EDAS file that produces the
CMD file (hand typed from listing)
and more
