Yeah had a Trash-80 Model I tricked up with 64K in the keyboard, true decenders in text, clocked up to 5.33 MHz (from 1.6 MHz) with an additional 32K in the E/I so I could bankswitch or use it as a print spooler running an LNW-80 disk controller with 4 8 inch Shugarts and 4 5.25 inch 360k floppies for more than 3 MB of online floppy storage (this was 1980 - 81) and a Votrax SE-01 voice synthesizer chip on the E/I port and running CP/M 2.2... Man that machine was a blast to hack around with... I loved Z80 assembler! Then the 8086 and 8088 came along and screwed it all up for everyone... Damn Intel crap...
