It my be rare. I did not know. Did not get mine from Radio Shack. I found stores around me to sell them. I think from them from Magazines I got.
Remember I had MULTIDOS on it. It was very good. Remember too going to the person house who made it he lived in Michigan and I got a updated disk right from him.
I do remember I had double-sided double density 80 track disks. It was neat to put a board in the expansion interface to get double density.
Remember the ribbon cable between the TRS-80 and expansion interface near the end all ways messed up the connection. It had no gold plated on the plugs. I remember even soldering all the wires on the edge card connectors. But I hated it because could not take them apart then.
Some time I my get my old TRS-80 Down. I think what I know today I my fix it.
Remember in magazines they had gold adapters to put on the end of the ribbon cable. But they cost a lot back then and I could never buy them.
Had a weblog I typed on there and I remember saving it to the commodore thought the RS232.
