I am looking for
IBM PC Junior
Apple II
TRS-80 (model I)
I think I have a couple of trash-80's in the back room. One with disks, one
without. Do they say "model 1"? (I don't know these at all)
Does have a Lisa he/she wants to unload?
I also have several, nice-condition Commodore boxes that I'd hate to pitch.
As long as we're in the subject of trading, I have several years of PPC (HP
programmable calculator user group) that I'd *love* to find a home for
of...absolutely fascinating stuff, including the origin of Ulam's
conjecture.

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)

No, here's a clarification on the Model 1. Actually most original Model 1
computers, DIDn't have the keypad out to the right. Later versions did.
There actually was a Model 1 Level 1 system that came out with 4k of
memory. As time went on it evolved to the Level 2 system and commonly had
16 k with the expansion interface (which wasn't compatible with the Level
1 system). I also have a Model 1 that I put in a HEX keypad out to the
right.

The last year or so, the keypad became standard. The machine had the
option almost from day one to have the thing added, at least after Level
II BASIC was brought out. The keypad, like the main keyboard, went from
the original smooth-key surface to the textured surface that felt so much
better and diddn't bounce. The keypad was _always_ standard on the Mod 3
-- I originally expected the Color Computer MultiPak interface to match
the profile of the keyboard unit and provide a keypad as well as the
expansion bus -- it annoyed me greatly when I was disappointed.

They were simply the TRS-80 Microcomputer System from 3Aug77 to 3Aug79,
when the Model II was released. After that, they were never relabeled,
they were discontinued at the end of 1980 when the FCC RFI rules kicked in
-- but the Model III (successor to the Model One) had been announced on
3Aug80 along with the Color Computer and the Pocket Computer PC-1. (The
Mod 1 and the Mod 2 had nothing in common except Z-80 processors -- the
Mod 2 was a business machine from day one with its 512Kb SSDD 8" floppy
expandable with up to three more in an external bay. Isaac Asimov wrote
his last 150-200 books with one that's on display at the Science Fiction
Shop in Greenwich Village -- I don't cross the Hudson often, but when I do
I touch the machine, it's a shrine in its way -- I'd love to get
permission to format a disk in its drive then bring it over to my own
machine and boot it.) (And of course, that evolved into the Model 16
Xenix system, that started me on my career as a Unix sysadmin since I
stopped being CSR for an RSCC).
