Oh boy!  Maybe I can find a Temple of ROM!  I wonder if they still have Dino
Wars?  Gee, gotta write 'em for a catalog!

Interesting.  Their "Software Assembly" would sell a backup of any disk for
$7.50 (store cost $5?).  It would be a disk with a typed label, sold for
replacement purposes.  This way they always had disk software available, and
we even ordered TRS-DOS for customers this way.

One of the ROM paks I picked up at a tent sale was a plain pak with a white
typed (dot matrix printed, actually) lable on it with the game name and
stock number.  Did Tandy custom burn eproms for special order ROM games???
