Restoring my Dad’s TRS-80 Model III

In this video I’ll bring my Dad’s TRS-80 Model III, which he bought brand new back in the early 1980s, back to life by replacing some blown capacitors. I’ll also learn how to use a Greaseweazle to get a raw flux backup of the only floppy disk he saved, containing TRSDOS and some accounting software he wrote himself. I’ll also interview Dad to learn why he bought the TRS-80 and what it was like when the IBM PC came out.
