The Trendcom 100 was also sold under the name WhisperPrinter by 3M

Still looking, but some fun facts for everyone : Trendcom made two printers at some point a 40 characters one (Trendcom 100) and the bigger 80 characters (Trencom 200) Both can be used with the Apple II apparently. The Trendcom 200 was rebranded by Apple ( cooling fins were removed because...

not able to swap some keys ?

Maybe not, the best option is to remove the Egret from the board, clean the area, put it back and see if something has changed. The Egret is surrounded by several caps, most of them leaking all other it, so you are probably going to find juice under the chip. Pin 3 is connected to one of the...

Hi, I have been looking for this cute printer for many years. Managed to buy one for a fair amount but unfortunately, probably in the transport, the printer head managed to be broken in the process. Was not able to make a repair the part is pretty fragile. The head was sold separetely at...

IIRC some Logic boards can only work with the appropriate CPU

I think i just used the mouse once or twice, my main goal was to have a try at Mouse Desk, but in the end didn't liked it too much

Not bad, really.

The only thing i can think of are Roms, they are several available, so maybe the revisions are following Roms. Probably also some changes in the Logic Board design, but should be pretty light.
