The reason for this is that 1.3 has one or more illegal Z80 instructions in it that the 64180 traps. We haven't done much research into this problem since practically no one uses TRSDOS 1.3. (Does this cause anyone out there trauma?) It is known that DOSPLUS 3.4 (for M3) runs with the XLR8er although there has been no software written for it that I know of. I seems to recall that someone was going to work on patches for M4 NEWDOS, though. I'll check on it. Thanks for bringing up this question, Mike. I forgot to mention anything about it in my last article.
