   I got a 2000 later, and a 1000   
      
   My first 'clock' for the Model II was built on the HD cable because that was   
   the same (or nearly so) between the Model III, Model II (second type HDC),   
   and the 'extra' connector on the 2000HDC (at least at first).  But then   
   later   
   I made a small adapter to put the 2000 Mouse/Clock board on the cable,   
   or the 1000 Mouse/Clock board.  (In fact, if you look at the Xenix tar set,   
   there's a driver there for it...)  I ran that on my 2000 because I ran out   
   of   
   card slots so I moved the Mouse/Clock out to the cable.  (There was also   
   a driver on at least some of the tar sets for the Model II graphics card.   
   As   
   well as for the 2000 keyboard, and even the Model II 'Mux' board to get   
   4 com ports per board.)   
      
   The 'color sprite' board for the Model II was my own design from scratch.   
   Well, as far as 'from scratch' can mean when I did it from the TI 9918   
   app notes.   
      
   But...  Some people may not know that the 2000 color graphics board was   
   developed and debugged in a Model II...  You just couldn't use it there   
   for anything practical.  96K of graphics in a 64K machine?
