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
