Re: TRS-80 Model 12 versus 16B

Jim, I'll have a 16B at VCF-SE this weekend. You take as close a look as you want. It has a single slim 8" drive, an internal 15MB hard disk, and an external 5 MB hard disk. It also has the 68K card stack with 768KB RAM. I don't have a keyboard for it though. I bought a 16 keyboard thinking it

Re: TRS-80 Model 12 versus 16B

The Model 16 was introduced in 1982 and was an upgraded Model II with the addition of an MC68000 subsystem that allowed you to run 16bit OSes, like TRSDOS-16, CPM-68K and TRSXENIX 1.x. On all Tandy 68K machines and operating systems the z80 ran in concert with the 68k. The z80 handled all I/O

TRS-80 Model 12 versus 16B

Been trying to Google things, but not having a lot of luck. I understand both are white case, both have slimline drives, 12 had no card cage, I think I read somewhere that the 16 came with 68K std (no Z80?), and 12 had KB conn on case, 16B had KB conn on KB. Beyond that, though, would love
