Info
Music-making and classic computers are mostly why I’m on eBay. Didn’t care for the experience of being a seller the one time I tried.

Wasn’t useful in my Tandy 2500 XL/2
Teac made an insane number of diskette drives with the same general model number. They aren’t all the same. The extended model number is what you need to attend to, because not all FD-235H drives work interchangeably.
In my case, this particular drive sold to me in this auction won’t work in a Tandy 2500 XL/2 computer, despite appearing to have the SAME general design, regardless of the cabling or jumper settings (simile jumper layout, too). That’s not the fault of the seller. It’ll sit on my shelf until some future need comes along.
I found that the version of the Teac drive sold in Akai S5/6000 samplers does work for my Tandy 2500 XL/2, when jumpers are set correctly (very different layout to the drive reviewed here) and power stripped from the data cable, but again that is NOT the drive being reviewed here!
(Note: ANY 3.5” drive NOT made for Tandy computers needs the power line stripped from the data cable, as Tandys power 3.5” drives through the data cable and this can DAMAGE drives not designed for this purpose, which is almost every drive ever made).

The best option isn’t good enough...
“Works when it wants to” was someone else’s title; I agree.
I bought mine new with my iPad Pro 12.9” (1st gen). The lettering started coming off the home row within months. I don’t know why I didn’t immediately go to the local Apple Store for a replacement. Here I am with this same unit, years later, missing labeling on five keys.
The fabric is coming up around the home row keys and the spacebar.
The keyboard will often fail to “remember” that modifier keys are being held.
It will also suddenly behave as though keys are being held (when they’re not).
Sometimes it just wont work at all, or apps wont respond to commands, but will respond to typing in text boxes. Nothing makes sense about that.
My iPad has started telling me to unlock it to use accessories, even though the keyboard hasn’t been removed (it never used to do this). It also seems to be triggering the “charging” notification sound (with no charge cable connected).
On top of that, iOS has a LOT of keyboard lag. I don’t know why this is getting worse lately. I don’t know if it’s the keyboard, the Smart Connector between the two devices, the OS... There’ve been no changes to iOS on this device since Apple stopped updating iOS 12.
All of these complaints and it still seems these keyboards are the “best choice” for this device in the physical sense. The compact nature, no batteries, no cables, no bluetooth, the Smart Connector is made for it, the sturdy angle the iPad sits at... But it was clearly not engineered for longevity or durability, and was expensive from day one. Trying to find a replacement, at this point in time, leads to similar prices for used units. Very few companies sell keyboards for the first generation iPad Pro. Any Bluetooth keyboard should work, but then you need something to hold up the iPad...
