Oh wow this brings back memories. I used one as my only PC for 8 years,
I even published a scanner frequency guide for my area that I sold
publically all done on the TRS 80 Model 100. Mine had an original Tandy
cassette tape drive.
Mine had an internal 300 baud modem, that worked great, the biggest
problem was the tiny screen when calling into BBS' in broke the text
lines up so bad it was almost impossible to read. If I remember I had to
change a switch on my printer to get it to do a carriage return, but my
printer wasn't the same on you have so I don't know if that will work for
you or not.
