    Description

    F48: FreHD for 8in TRS-80s
    It's a hard disk emulator using an SD card for storage.  One operating system per SD card: https://youtu.be/jqCWo_m1gvo
    This allows you to run TRSDOS-II 4.2.6, CP/M 2.2, and CP/M Plus on the 8in computers in Z80 mode: Model II, 12, 16, 16B, 6000
    NOTES:
    You need to own a Type-II HDA (see 3rd picture), this controller normally connects to a TRS-80 Primary hard drive, which is what the F48 replaces.
    F48 now runs Xenix.  Ask me how!
    Your Model II (or 16) needs to have a Rev D Z80 processor card (most do), if you have a Rev A, B or C then you need to modify it as outlined in Radio Shack Technical Bulletin TB II:26, a copy of which is included on the information CD.
    Model 12 owners need to have a card cage (people do ask...) so that the Type-II HDA and KB/Video card can be installed at the same time.
    When ordering let me know which image you want on the SD card, otherwise I'll just put TRSDOS-II 4.2.6  On the CDs are images for CP/M 2.2 and CP/M Plus, so it's easy to create your own alternative DOS SD cards.
