TRS-80 days . . . & probs with wobbly plugs!
TRS 80-4p yeah those where sturdy little machines attached KB, no HD unless you wanted to buy one the size of a turntable which cost $500. I still have a disk notch-er for making use of dual sided single density 5.25 floppies. I donated it many years ago and its probably in a museum. Came standard with green or black screen and two floppy drives. I can not remember trashing any disks except when someone set a drink on one.
Nice to meet another old timer.
Ah... nostalgia. Atari 800 & 1200, no HD and TV as monitor. Also Commodore Amiga (A500). Still have all three but haven't fired them up in a while. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
