TR-DOS is a disk operating system for the ZX Spectrum with Beta Disc and Beta 128 disc interfaces. TR-DOS and Beta disc were developed by Technology Research Ltd (UK), in 1984.[1][2] A clone of this interface is also used in the Russian Pentagon and Scorpion machines.
It became a standard and most disk releases for the ZX Spectrum, especially of modern programs, are made for TR-DOS as opposed to other disk systems.[3][4]
The latest official firmware version is 5.03 (1986).[5] Unofficial versions with various enhancements and bug-fixes have been released since 1990, with the latest being 6.10E (2006).[6]
TR-DOS handles SS/DS, SD/DD floppy disks. All modern versions support RAM Disk and some versions support hard disks.
Current emulators support TR-DOS disk images in the formats .TRD or .SCL.
Commands[edit]
The following list of commands is supported by TR-DOS V4.[7]
Utility programs include:
- FILER
- TAPECOPY (replaces BACKUP, COPY and SCOPY utility programs in TR-DOS V3)

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
