Restoring my Dads TRS 80 Model III

In this video I ll bring my Dad s TRS80 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 TRS80 and what it was like when the IBM PC came out.
