my tandy model 4P (Z80 cpu, 2x 5.25 floppies, 128 megs ram bank switched) had a 1200 built in, as well as my tandy 100 "laptop" with its 300 baud <- that thing rocked, keyboard is still better than prolly 90% of the keyboards on anything today, laptop or desktop. excepting the original IBM keyboards. freakin tanks those things (they weigh more than some entire modern computers) and i still have a couple. retro build here i come 5.25 MFM hard drives for the win! well perhaps not but still..
CP/M, win3.11... dos 3.3 good times
I had no idea that Tandy was still producing TRS-80s up till that 90s. The 4P looks pretty sweet, did you actually use it as a luggable though? I wonder how many luggables were actually moved around. Now, the Model 100, that was sweet. I have its competitor, the Epson Hx-20, I don't use it as much as I should but I get it out several times. In fact, the embedded dot matrix printer is what I use to print my wallet seeds (encrypted of course). I keep wondering if I could ever get it to create them natively rather then me just typing them in.
yup lugged that sucker all over the place. man it was heavy. but its nice big screen (vs a kaypro i had, ugh), dual floppies, modem, spots to keep maybe 10 floppies safe in the case, decent kb, standard parallel printer port and the ability to use the extra bank switched 64k as a ramdisk made it pretty useful for that period of my life.
the model 100 doesnt have a printer alas. as its kinda the ultimate in minimalist full sized keyboard computing. runs on 4 "AA" batteries. beat that nowadays lol
May not have a printer, but the screen on the HX-20 is tiny in comparison. The model 100 was definitely a better device.
