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.
