Hmm..could it have been a special cable used to connect the 50 pin System
80 (aka PMC-80 in the US) expansion card to the 40 pin TRS-80 Model 1
Expansion interface. I have one of these cables.
However, are you saying it came in a Radio Shack box? If this is the case,
maybe not.

I just tripped over an unusual cable:
It has a trapezoidal thin black box labeled "TRS0-80", but no part number,
one side has a few inches of cable with a 40 pin card edge connector,
the other side has a few feet of cable with a 50 pin edge connector.
40 pin was probably model 1 expansion bus (I hafn'y messed with model
2/12/16). But what did Radio Shack use on model 1 with 50 pin?
