I now sell three different types of TRS-80 Model I\/III\/4, and thought I’d take a moment to explain the differences:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. AUSTRALIAN DELIVERY: these are computers originally sold by Tandy Electronics chain in Australia and are 240V\/50Hz operation, and the sticker underneath states “Tandy Electronics” and 240V\/50Hz operation. On Model III and 4 they have a removable IEC (mains) power cord.<\/li>\n
  2. US DELIVERY: these are computers originally sold by Radio Shack and Computer Centre chain in the United States and are 120V\/60Hz operation, and the sticker underneath states “Radio Shack” and 120V\/60Hz.On Model III, 4, and 4D the power cord is built in and dangles out the back – this is normal.\u00a0\u00a0These machines require a cheap 120V Step-Down converter to run, and they work perfectly well.\u00a0\u00a0(For other details on US Delivery machines, see the section below “WHY BUY AN AMERICAN COMPUTER?”<\/li>\n
  3. AUSTRALIANISED-US DELIVERY: these are 120V US computers which I have converted internally to 240V operation and have an Australian plug on the end of the usual US dangly power cord. A sticker under the computer states that the computer is now for 240V use.\u00a0\u00a0They don’t require a 120V Step-Down transformer.\u00a0 These Australianised-US computers will be listed in with the Australian computers, but clearly marked as such.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
