Now you're talking! - The TRS-80 Model 1 Level 2 was what I really cut my teeth on (if you ignore the Punch Card programming I did at college). It wasn't just the Tape Drive which was temperamental - I remember when (Disk Drives came out) we had to run them with their covers over so as the drives got hot we could tweak a Potometer (is that the right word?) with a screw-driver to keep it reading the disks.
