I think I may have asked this a long time ago, but now that I have a PC with a 5.25" drive I'll ask it again:

What's the easiest way to write .dsk files (games) to a floppy and use them in a real TRS-80 (a model III with 48K in my case)? I know there must be a way to do it, but I need some instructions on how.

Have you tried these instructions? About three quarters down the page is what you want. This seems like the easiest:

A faster and more convenient way, if you can get it to work, is to write the disks in a PC with a 5.25-inch floppy drive. If you have Linux on your PC and your disk is a standard double-density format (40 or 80 tracks, 1 or 2 sides), you can use the programs trsfmt and diskdmp by Tony Duell, available from http://www.tim-mann..../trsdsk.tar.gz. See the documentation included in the tar file. If you don't understand what to do with .tar.gz files, see the next method instead.
