Here's a couple more for the TRS knowledgeable.
from a TRS novice.
1. Among the various TRS stuff I picked up recently was a
TRS-80 monitor. It has a similiar connector coming out
the front as the Model II. Was this the for the std. M.1
and M.3 ?
The Model 3 has a built-in monitor - it's an all-in-one case containing
the monitor, keyboard, CPU board and up to 2 drives.
The model 1 monitor is a converted portable TV. The input cable ends in a
5-pin DIN plug - like an IBM PC keyboard connector. Is that like your
monitor?
2. Included
with a TRS CoCo 1 I picked up last summer was
an adapter plugged into the cass.port. a label "TotalCommunications"
on one side and "Telelearning" on the other. Into this was plugged
another M/M adapter labelled " RS232 Gender Changer" Was this for
hooking up a fdd and/or modem ?
My guess, and it's only a guess is that this is some kind of kludge to
allow you to CLOAD (and maybe CSAVE) programs to/from an RS232 device. It
may have been part of one of those classroom 'networks' where the teacher
loaded a program onto his machine, all the pupils typed CLOAD, the
teacher typed CSAVE and the program was downloaded onto all the pupils'
machines.
