The TRS 80

Ten thousand TRS 80s are sold one month after the computer's September 1977 release, greatly exceeding all sales projections. The TRS 80, affectionately called the "Trash 80", is designed by Radio Shack to compete with the Apple II and Commodore PET. Priced at $599, the model ships with 4K of RAM, a keyboard, a modified black and white television display, and a cassette tape device.
