I saw this in comp.sys.tandy a few months back.  I do not know the
disposition of the system.  I would love to have it myself, but it
will be years before I could get the resources to properly open a
facility such as it deserves.  The Boston Computer Museum has no
sense of _real_ history, IMAO.  I did several of the mods Dennis
described, both those for the TRS-80 Model One and for the Color
Computer.

 Hi,

 I am looking for a good home for the original *Custom TRS-80* ... my
 model I about which the book was written 15 years ago. The Boston
 Computer Museum isn't interested ... TRS-80s don't number among their
 favorites, I was led to believe ... but I certainly would like to see it
 in a public location with all its parts and modifications available,
 plus copies of the books, disks, etc., original manuscripts and
 programs, peripherals (speech synethesizer, expansion goodies) etc.,
 etc., and an LNW-80 clone! If the site was a really good one, I'd throw
 in the CoCos and all their original mods, circuit card schematics,
 negatives, and so on.

 Does anyone know where a good home might be found for this (other than
 mine)? Please feel free to forward this post to anyone who might have an
 idea ... I've kept all this stuff together, but am beginning to tire of
 the fact that no one can see it. Those of you who recall the book and my
 magazine columns can imagine what an odd collection it is!

 Best,
 Dennis *****     END INCLUDED TEXT     *****
