Thanks to kimjohn for providing the scans of this 2 page A4 sized brochure.
The GLW80 Cartridge is a 16K Cartridge, which, when plugged
into your Sorcerer allows it to emulate a TRS80 (Requires
some hardware modifications to your Sorcerer which in no
way affects the Sorcerer in normal operation).
It allows execution of most TRS80 Level 2 Basic and System
format programs and also allows loading of TRS80 format tapes.
It was sold for $195 by Graham Wragg (in Victoria), which included the GLW80 Cartridge, all parts for hardware modification and installation. It was also available in Cassette form. Unfortunately we don't have the software so hoping someone out there can help as it would extend the software range considerably that you could run on the Sorcerer.
The Sorcerer Brochure was found on archive.org, cleaned up etc and converted to a searchable PDF. Dated 1980 it give a good run down on the state of computers at the time and of the products Exidy had available at that time. An excellent read.
A new Brochures folder was created to take these 2 new docs but the exiting dse_big_savings_brochure.pdf was moved to there also.
So in the Vintage Repository in the new Exidy_Sorcerer\Brochures folder we placed
