Hi All,
Fair Radio sales has (in their last cat.) 3 parallel keyboards for US$10,
"Cheap" because "the IBM PC standard killed the market for them".
They are at:

On a related note, wasn't there a electronics surplus dealer of some
sort, perhaps based in Massachusetts, called "Meshna"? I'm wondering if
someone knows whether they are still in business. Any web search turns
up nothing.

Ooooh, yes! Please confirm this. Last I ordered from them was back in the
early 80's. I got a bunch of military surplus radio pieces from them for my
collection. Been thinking of tracking the company down recently.
I remember clearly they often had drum memory units, PSU's and misc.
computer bits. I was never into old computers until the past several years.
I still have an old mid-80's catalog that I uncovered while moving earlier
this year.
Regards, Chris
