When the project was cancelled, Radio Shack sold off the keyboards as
standalone products intended for experimenters. They were never claimed to
work in any Tandy/Radio Shack computer, but in fact they worked great in a
Color Computer 2. Everyone I knew with a CC2 bought one. I wish I still had
the catalog number, but I threw away the packaging.

We assumed that this was evidence that the Color Computer family had hit
the end of the line, but then they surprised us with the 3.
