I am still using an old Tandy TRS-80 Model XII.
Z80 microprocesor, 80 kby ram, 2 1.2MbY 8" floppies, no hard drive.
This commputer is being used from the year 1982 without interruption.
I continue to upgrade programs that are run in this 4 Mhz fossil.
Interesting, the Basic languaje manual states:
TRS-80 BASIC: 1982
Tandy Cororation.Licensed from Microsoft.
All Rights Reserved.
I once wrote a Z80 assembler program for the TRS-80 model I with 16 kbys.
The audio output from a short wave radio was input to the TRS-80 cassette
input plug. I could decode the news send by radio from United Press,
Associated Press, etc. They were sent in 5 bites bytes at 50 and 75 bauds.
All the program took 255 bytes.......
