Tiny Model III

How it started, how it's going ;-)

Just got my 1:6 scale TRS-80 Model III from @trevorflowers

May work on getting BASIC and some TRS-80 block graphics running on it

Finally found some time to start playing with my Tiny TRS-80 Model III... the first order of business was to get the display looking a little more realistic, which I was able to do with these fonts kreativekorp.com/software/font

The TRS-80 had two video modes, 64 characters by 16 lines and 32 characters by 16 lines. The higher resolution video mode is barely legible at this scale, but I love it!

I was not good about posting updates along the way, but I had a lot of fun with this project. In the end I was able to get some of my old TRS-80 BASIC programs running on the Tiny Model III, including this version of BREAKOUT that I wrote in 1982.
