<>> I have a Rainbow 200, but I'm missing the keyboard and mouse, and it <>>doesn't <>> seem to take a serial console. NEever heard of a 200 there was a 100, 100+ and 100B. <you could use a VT100 keyboard, don't know about mouse support <(presumably standard serial as on a PC...) No mouse. Keyboard was LK200 same as vt220 and later terminals and the monitor was VR201 (mono) or one of the others. It did not use a serial console as it was like a PC and had color graphics. <hard disk controllers and colour display boards were like gold dust for <these machines... blank disks are probably pretty rare these days if the <200 uses those same strange two-in-one disk drives that the 100 had - <you had to have disks without the centre reinforcing rings or they'd <screw up the drive spindles over a period of time.... Media is common 360k pc. The format is oddball (rx50) but the rainbow could format a floppy. Hard disk controllers can be found (in the USA). Allison
