[comp.sys.tandy] Q-- looking for TRS-80 16B Keyboard, info

rfink@eng.umd.edu (Russell A. Fink) (06/20/91)

Hello,

I've just inadvertently joined the world of Tandy through a recent acquisition
of a TRS-80 Model 16B.  Of course, the catch is that I have no keyboard for it.
It totes a connector that has 5 pins aranged in a circular fashion, very similar
to a Commodore power supply.  I would like to ask two things:

1. a) Does anyone have a keyboard they want to unload?
   b) Could a keyboard from another model be used?
   c) Where could I obtain specs for the keyboard requirements?  SAMS info?

2. a) Does anyone have any general comments to make about this particular model?
   b) Does anyone have a need for it?  I'd like to sell it for real cheap.

It is allegedly running some strain of Xenix, and sports a whopping 15 Meg HD,
and two compact built-in 8" disk drives, all making for major portability.
Actually, it is relatively small for all its size, which is quite impressive
for a machine from about 1980.

Email comments/flames are welcome.
