Rather odd to have gone through the trouble and expense of adding an after market audio out port. Because you could use a standard Radio Shack computer cassette drive as a speaker. And even if you didn't have a tape drive, you could separately buy the Radio Shack computer cassette cable (Catalog Number 26-1207, $5.95 USD), one end of which plugged into the cassette DIN port on the computer and the other end of which split into three tips, one of those three being ... a standard audio out plug that could be inserted into any speaker. So for under six US dollars you could get a de facto adapter letting you hook up the Model 4 (or III for that matter) with just about any speaker. Or, if you preferred, to a female-female adapter ($2 or less) so you could plug in headphones.
I doubt you will see this, I'm a few months behind. I own a Tandy trs-80 with three monitors, two expansion drives, a ton of games and programs on floppy .
It is hard to believe that nothing has happened since this movie was filmed the first time and now, just like all developments on the TRS-80 are rock solid frozen in time and space.
Do you mean when I first produced the video in 2013/14? There is an active hard-core community that even to this day works on refining emulators and bits and pieces of hardware. It's a niche community though.

Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
