[net.micro.trs-80] Again: Model 4

I am amazed and delighted that a few questions about a diskless,
voiceless Model 4 can generate so much response.

Our (River Rats') Model 4 is early.  The man who gave it to us bought a
Model III first, but traded it for a Model 4 when the 4 came out before
he opened the box.  Outside it's just like our Model III except for
color, labels, a few keys, and an empty hole where our III has RS-232C.
Inside it has a shield around the main board.

A word about the RFI toroids. I suppose they're in, but I get hit both
ways anyway: not only does the 80x24 screen come in dimly (I can turn
it up), but the screen shows herringbones in reverse video.

One advantage of the 4 is that it doesn't interfere with TV.  Anybody
want to guess what it would take to radio-silence the III?  Draping
aluminum foil over the board doesn't help.
