The HP 150 came out two months earlier.
ACT Apricot precedes even that, though not by much. The Wikipedia
article says it was launched in September 1983 but I remember them from
much earlier in the year (I worked for an ACT distributor). They had a
built-in 3.5" drive (315K formatted, single-sided 600rpm) and there was
no 5.25" option.
