I was just browsing through a 1983 issue of Byte, which I bought at the
Vintage Computer Fair at the Computer History Museum about 1-2 years ago.

I came across THE ad which prompted me to buy my first floppy drive for my
COCO 1.
The ad is from Computer Plus, in Littleton MA, the price for Drive 0 is
$329, but for some reason I distinctly remember paying $425.
Drive 1 is a mere $235! (and for that, I can *nearly* buy a Palm Pilot with
a several hundred MHZ Arm processor, with Infra Red, & WIFI)

The ad also lists other Radio Shack equipment and boasts "a full complement
of Radio Shack Software".

If anyone wants, I can send a digicam image of the ad.(Email me off list to
avoid  the "Me Too" emails)
