Trash 80. I did a couple things on that. It would lockup 20 times a day.

Trash-80 was a great box. I still remember buying my first one with money from my paper-route (OK, borrowed partly from grandparents) - the "low" price of $999 from Radio Shack. Had 4K of RAM and a cassette drive to load programs. Took half an hour to load 4K. Had two grey-scale asterisks that blinked on and off in the upper right corner while loading. God help you if the volume was too high or low on the cassette drive..CRC errors and you'd start the load all over again..

Wrote a lot of great Z-80 code on that. Even re-created Space Invaders at one point. Local radio shack wanted to sell it - as a cassette tape in a plastic freezer bag hung from one of those grey metal pegs on their pegboard display where they hung all the software.

Ah..the memories..
