No. They were originally known (and labelled) as
the TRS-80 Microcomputer
System. They later became known as the model 1 (Although I don't think
they were ever labelled as such.)
Were there two different Model 1's? I have
seen pictures of Model 1's
that don't look like my Model 1. (i.e. no numeric keypad)
