I have several TRS-80 Model II (w/ 8" drives) without
keyboards. Are the
Model III keyboards compatible?
Also, if anyone wants one of these things, $10 plus shipping.
The condition
is unknown since I haven't fired them up ... and they don't include
keyboards :).

Yes. I can make copies of Xenix or TRSDOS or even Pickles & Trout CP/M
for anyone that's interested.
(This is the one thing I have readily available in my collection since
I've made so many for people in the past.)

I'm not sure whether the 12 and the 6000 were exactly the same case as
the 16b, but they were close.
The Model 2 was a Z-80
The Model 16 was the same case, with both the Z-80 AND the 68000.
I don't remember what the Model 12 was.
The 12 was the cost-reduced II. They got rid of the card cage and put
all the electronics on one board (like a Model 3). However, the
card cage could be added as an option.

Actually not. The 68000 is only in the Model 16, 16B, and 6000.
It's possible to upgrade a II to a 16 though, or a 12 to a 6000.
