TRS-80 Disk and Other Mysteries was a highly successful book covering disk systems, troubleshooting, and programming for the TRS-80. Published by Pennington's own company, it sold rapidly and was highly regarded as a definitive reference.
The book covers disk organization, allocation, recovery of files, and handling Electric Pencil bugs.
Pennington's engaging and personal style divided opinion, but many praised the book's clarity and helpfulness.
It was written and composed entirely on a TRS-80 system, showcasing Pennington’s skills as both an author and illustrator.
The book spurred the successful “... and Other Mysteries” series by IJG.
- The book did not contain a partial ROM disassembly; that appeared only in later books such as Microsoft's.
