At one point (oh, almost ten years ago now) small "adapters" were readily available for a few tens of bucks to let you use true blue IBM PC keyboards on machines expecting AT keyboards. I haven't seen these being sold for many years, but they must occasionally turn up at the usual outlets. Personally, I don't really like the IBM PC keyboards, I'm far more agile with a VT100 or DEC LK201 at my fingertips :-). Good point. When did IBM introduce MFM "double-density" MFM 8 inch floppies? I'm guessing 1975 or 1976, based on samples I have here. The DEC RX02 was just a little bit later, IIRC. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
