Ward,
The Model 2000 did carry the TRS-80 logo. The black/silver badge on the
front of the machine, which was rotatable in case you put the 2000 upright on
it's nifty floor stand, said 'Tandy' on the first line, in a black band,
'TRS-80' on the second in a silver band, and 'Model 2000 Personal Computer' in
the third on another black band. This is clearly shown on the front of the
'Tandy Service Manual: Tandy Model 2000 Personal Computer'. I owned one of
these machines for a number of years, but sold it when I got caught in the
clone upgrade mania. Now I'm working on purchasing another.
Also, I aquired an Atari XE System today, with the optional keyboard, along
with two 1050 disk drives. Cute little machine, and includes the light gun.
Anyone in need of a 1050 disk drive for an Atari 8bit? I don't need both, and
don't have a PSU to test either out with.
