Does anyone have a data cable for a TRS-80 Line Printer II? I want to use
it with the TRS-80 Model III, but don't have the cable. I've checked with
RadioShack, and they no longer carry it. I also need boot/program disks
for the TRS-80 Model III.

You might Frank Larosa of Searchlight....he still runs a TRS-80 mod 3 on the
net as a telnetted BBS, his original version of Searchlight BBS. He's at

He knows his TRS-80 3's and 4's.

Is that the standard Model 3 printer cable? 34 pin card edge connector ->
36 pin Amphenol plug? If so, then it's very easy to make one. All you
need is an 34 pin IDC
edge connector, a 36 pin IDC 'Centronics' Amphenol plug and a suitable
length (2m, say) of 34 pin IDC cable.
Just crimp the connectors onto the cable, leaving the 2 end pins
(furthest from pin 1) of the Amphenol plug unconnected. Use the striped
edge of the cable for pin 1.
I can't remeber which pin on the model 3 is pin 1, alas. You may have to
plug the edge connector in boths ways round until it works. Shouldn't do
any damage if you get it wrong.

New subject: Sinclair ZX-80 first Sinclair kit?
I believe I've heard reference to a kit computer that Sir Clive Sinclair
sold before the ZX-80. Is this correct? If so, what was it called, what
CPU was it based upon, and what year did it come out?
