Keyword 8000

I've been curious for a while about a couple of Keyword 8000 8" drives and power supply I picked up at a swapfest. I just found an article over in Germany about these drives. In checking the power supply, one of the chips had a code date of 1987, so at least I have a time frame! If anyone would like them for the usual 1.2 x shipping, let me know. ********** Keyword offers Keypak: TV programs into universe in one compatibly COMPUTER WEEK No. 50 of 09.12.1988 AACHEN(pi) - Missing compatibility with text processing programs do not stand to an exchange of documents in principle into ways.
