Tandy Keyboard - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

16 Oct 1998

A 101 keyboard will not work at all.  The special 8-pin plug is there for a
reason - If you do not have a Tandy 1000 keyboard, then the keboard will
not work.

   I have a 1000sx buried under a bunch of other stuff
and the KB is different. 
...
  In the Tandy 1000 FAQ it says:
      II.E.2.  Can I replace my old 90-key Tandy keyboard with a 101-key
              keyboard?
      On the EX and HX, no.  On other systems, yes, but it won't work exactly 
...
       like a standard 101-key keyboard since the Tandy
keyboard BIOS is 
     different.  A special 101-key keyboard made for the 1000's must be used.  
...
      See section   IV.G.  (SL and later systems came
with a 101-key keyboard, 
...
      and a compatible   BIOS.)

  THROWING the 1000's away?? You ought to b4e
ashamed. <g>
   Landfill for the 90s. Reminds me of all the rusting autoframes scattered
across 
...
  the country. Can't help but think that coming
generations will pay for this 
...
  some way.
