xtrs

If you're a fan of the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P and find yourself running Unix and the X Window System, then xtrs might be right up your alley. This emulator includes a slew of features, like lower case support, real time clock, hi-res graphics, serial port, parallel printer, mouse, cassette, and sound and music output (with OSS).

With xtrs, users can also utilize 5" and 8" floppy disk drives in single and double density or hard disk drives. Even better, the emulated floppy and hard disk file formats are compatible with popular MSDOS-based emulators, such as those by Jeff Vavasour, Matthew Reed, and David Keil. This means that all features of the original TRS-80 floppy disk controller are emulated, as long as you choose a capable enough file format.

Another perk under Linux is the support of physical floppy disk drives. Plus, physical cassettes can be read and written! The user interface is basic, but functional. Overall, xtrs is a fantastic emulator for those running Unix and X Window System, with a variety of emulation options and compatibility with other popular emulators.
