TRS-80 Model I
(model one), with 1k of ram, I bought the "upgrade" to level ii basic, and a total of 4k ram. I remember typing in long 1k programs and saving them to cassette. I finally got that sucker up to its max 48k and floppy drives (had to buy an expansion interface, which was a box bigger than the computer).

In alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia, Sunbow ordered an army of
hamsters to type: spectrum 48k+ with `proper` keyboard. later a speccy 128k +2A with disk drive add-on. Had a whole 780k per disk.. lol, there was a time when I wanted to get the (not so) floppy disk drive addon. I had a friend that had one of the speccys with the intergrated disk drive in place of the cassette player. I was jealous. |

I finally got that sucker up to its max 48k and floppy drives (had to buy an expansion interface, which was a box bigger than the computer). Expansion interface. I couldn't remember the name. That thing kicked sack. I had one of those with a floppy drive and the sound effects cartridge. With that, you could play games that actually *gasp* talked! One of my earliest computer memories is making my Tandy say cuss words in a robot voice to my friends. Sad, I know. :-p |

oric !! 48k Ha! Another pommie PC I had long since forgotten about. Two years ago I gave away a bunch of "Your Computer" mags purchased between 1982 to 1985 to a church. @^&*!! Do I regret it. They record an explosion of PCs that arrived in those years including the ZX Spectrum, Dragon 32, Aquarius, Oric, Atari 400, Acorn Electron, etc.. Now they're all gone, dammit.

news Atari 256k. Wanted the 512 but it was 400 dollars more.219 dollar plug in floppy drive upgrade was out of the question. Could play a cool tank game. Never was able to find it again, I wish I could. I remember the smell in the store when I bought it....excitement! I apologise as an ex-Amiga owner for giving you Atari ST owners such a (verbal) arse kicking. You know... it was a stooopid religious thang I had going on back then; oh, and some really quite superior graphics hardware, better sound, and a vastly more elegant OS.
