That's the one system I don't have in my
collection that I'd really like to -
a TRS-80 model I with tandy monitor and perhaps the expansion unit. I never
owned one, but a lot of my friends in the late 70's timeframe did and we
always fought about if my Apple ][+ was better than their TRS80 :)
At the time the Model I came out, there was no way I could afford one.
I did spend a lot of time at the local Radio Shack, programming theirs to
play music. My first micro was a Model III, with 16KB RAM and cassette
storage.
I've been slowly piecing together a Model I system, and now have a
Level II 16KB system unit and Tandy monitor, and just picked up a 32KB
Expansion Interface and all 4 floppy drives. I'm anxious to check out the
EI and drives.
