[Coco] new mylars

[Al Hartman]

The Coco 1, 2, and 3 can all use the same keyboards though you would need an 
adapter to use the newer keyboard on the older Coco. The matrix is the same.

There wouldn't be much use for these mylars on any other computer out there. 
Not even the Dragon, which has a different keyboard matrix.

The original chicklet Coco keyboard used metal springs and doesn't have a 
mylar base, if I remember correctly.

Since I do not have a CoCo 3 I am sort of just lurking n this thread or at 
least was since this post breaks with that convention. I am curious enough 
to ask. Is this Mylar exclusively for the CoCo 3? Reading the thread it 
seems that CoCo 2s can also use it, correct or incorrect? But going further, 
was this Mylar designed for the CoCo 3 or did this product use a more 
generic Mylar that other items have used?

Most likely I would assume that it is a customized design by Tandy/RS only 
for use on their computers, but if in the remote case that it is a generic 
design then it would be fantastic to locate these products and see whether 
there is market for the Mylar beyond the CoCo 3.

I have a CoCo 1 myself so I think that excludes me from the Mylar's target 
market :-). Salvador
