In 2019, I obtained the TRS-80 disk needed to run the original Winter Camp Latrine Monitor from Jeff Rand in Arizona.
Overview
The system uses the TRS-80 joystick for input (reading IO port 00h), and the cassette port relay for the output. The 4 joystick directions are attached to the switches for the seat and toilet paper dispensers for stalls 1 and 2.
Notes on running the system
- Boot up DOSPLUS 3.5
- run lat11/cmd (type lat11; press enter) This will load the machine code portion of the software which reads signals from the hardware.
- load basic: enter in "BASIC LAT13A -F:2 -M:61999" This tells basic to reserve memory at 61999, use up to 2 files, and load lat13a basic program. Lat13a is the basic section of the software that manages the record keeping and reports.
