This is the first computer that I owned. I make that distinction because I worked with business computers for many years prior to buying my own. Mouse over the image for notes.
I bought this computer for $400. in 1980. That was the bare bones computer, 4k of memory with a "Non-extended BASIC" operating system. "Extended BASIC" was a more extensive set of commands which was at an additional cost. This was a ROM, Read Only Memory, based operating system. A TV set was used as the monitor. This photo was taken in 1983. By that time, the system had been upgraded to at least 32K, maybe 64K of memory. It had Extended Basic and several peripherals, printer, modem etc. The system eventually grew to an OS-9 by Microware system with a 40 MB hard drive. I built an interface to connect a WD1002 disk controller to the computer.
My floppy disk drive can be seen to the far right of the computer. Radio Shack catalog page featuring that drive:

To the left of the TV is an NCR 260 thermal printer. It was previously an I/O writer on an NCR Criterion Mainframe computer. As an I/O writer it sat into a hole in the console table, that's why there is no cabinet for the printer.

The once-very-cool Daytone USA Arcade game. I now have much better looking racing games on my handheld gamecomputer!

good thing i bought this nintendo gamecomputer (to play mario). they have nice translation software for it. it comes with a touchscreen that i can use to write kanji in it and it automatically detects the kanji and translates it for me. very very useful. and much cheaper than a dedicated translator from casio.
