You mentioned that the TRS-80(s) have hard disks. Perhaps the extra space taken by the hard disk bios is the culprit. Maybe a floppy-only machine (with floppy only bios) is the only way to compile it. Will Grownups never understand anything by themselves and it is tiresome for children to b

Wow, I agree that there is clearly an incompatibility - I wonder how? CP/M should be CP/M... Just the BDOS changed for the individual machine hardware. One thought is the screen RAM may be an issue with overlaying. I suspect that Borland didn't notice, as the TRS80 Model 4 was really late in t
