The line won popularity with hobbyists, home users, and small-businesses. Tandy Corporation's leading position in what Byte Magazine called the "1977 Trinity" (Apple, Commodore and Tandy) had much to do with retailing the computer through more than 3000 of its Radio Shack (Tandy in the UK) storefronts.[2] Notable features of the original TRS-80 included its full-stroke QWERTY keyboard, small size, well-written Floating Point BASIC programming language, an included monitor, and a starting price of $600[1]. One major drawback of the original system was the massive RF interference it caused in surrounding electronics. This became a problem when it was determined to violate FCC regulations, leading to the Model I's phase out in favor of the new Model III. By 1979, the TRS-80 had the largest available selection of software in the microcomputer market.This unit is coming from a enclosed, well ventilated office. Im selling it in order to make room for some new toys. The auction does NOT include the monitor. It does include the unit itself, and the mouse as well. Happy bidding! Place a Bid!
