They look the same, and can be converted easily, but the electrical interface is different. If you examine your diskettes carefully, you'll find all kinds of stuff, things like drivers for the quad 8250 board Tandy put in their multiplexor, but which worked GREAT in their model II systems with Xenix. I wouldn't be surprised if the xxxxxxxmux file was for the 4 port serial card. Better performance than the released 3 channel board, and an extra channel to boot! In R&D at Tandy, most of the guys had 'custom' machines, made from multiplexor in some cases, that were basically 16 slot backplanes. These guys were true scroungers and hackers, and when they say the T2000 keyboard, they just HAD to have it. Mike Yetsko
