It's just called 'Kids Typing' by Bright Star Technology 1993. I have been playing the Links Pro a lot!

My daughter has taken over it for now but I will be restoring it when I get my staycation from work

Yes will do. Will get it later today

Thanks - will probably pick it up Monday and start tinkering with it

Sounds good I will probably pick it up and have a new toy to play with.  I'm hoping the Floppy Emu works with it also.  

A neighbor is selling an LC575 Macintosh machine for $125 or best offer. It has the original KB/Mouse, CD ROM and comes with some educational software.  It has OS 7.5 on it. It has a network port but I am not sure if this is just an Appletalk, or can I use it to do TCP/IP networking. Attached...

This is the glue you want: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006O8EJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, just leave the case out in the sun for 2 hours, most of the yellowing will go away.   very nice find!

strange..  Maybe just need to open it up and reconnect everything really good and look for cold solder joints or obvious things.  But who knows, could be caps on the analog board starting to go bad.   

Nice, looks like you will have a fully restored machine

After partially sliding out analog board, there are two soldered wires (red/black see pic)  preventing me from removing board from assembly. How do I get to the connection on the assembly to remove them. Also how do I remove hard drive?  Yes I looked at service manual but didnt see it

Great news. Glad it all worked out. 

You just insert a small flat head down the end of one side of the battery cover and gently lift the tab and lift it up.  You can try to clean up around the cap(s) with rubbing alcohol for now. 

Thanks guys glad you mentioned the limitation of one partition. I would have been scratching my head!

How do you create a system picker at boot time? I would like to have a couple OS options considering partitioning is easy and HD space is cheap

The chances of a new battery leaking/exploding in an indoor climate environment  are almost none. It's only if you have it for 15 years and forget about it,or store it too hot or cold.
