April 14 Reminds me of my old TRS80!
HA!... I had the TRS80 and it was a keyboard, cassette tape recorder and I used a black and white TV as the monitor and you pretty much had to write your own programs! This brings back memories! Below is the caption that was below the one above!
Yes, it was a real, working computer. CPU was a Z80 running at around 3 MHz. I seem to recall that the memory was 4 kb.
On the right is the cheap store-bought cassette tape recorder that served as file storage. Keyboard keys were lettered with Letra-set, color-coded with nail polish and sealed with clear acrylic. The case was varnished marine ply, and an old Black & White TV was used as the display unit. I actually wrote a payroll program (in a mixture of Basic and Z80 Assembler languages) on this computer, that was used in a real-world business. TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
