The Programmer’s Guide to LDOS/TRSDOS Version 6 is my favorite TRS-80 programming book, and in my opinion, the most useful. The chapters include:
- an overview of the operating system
- device input/output, with information about filters and drivers
- disk drive input/output, with information about writing a disk driver
- DOS directory structure
- disk file access and control
- interfacing with supervisory calls (SVCs), including detailed information about parameters
- other useful miscellaneous tables and topics
In other words, The Programmer’s Guide provides complete overview of all the information necessary to write a proper Model 4 program.
You can download The Programmer’s Guide at Tim Mann’s Misosys Software and Documents Page in a variety of different formats.

I’d have to agree that this was the best TRS-80 programming book ever written. When I first heard of it, it was not yet published, but Mr. Soltoff was kind enough to sell me a publisher’s proof copy. Definitely got me off to a good start programming in assembler for the Model 4. Great memories; I guess my age is showing…
