I don't remember what my first Coco was. It may be the TDP-100 I still have today.

I bought it because I worked for Spectrum Projects at the time, and used it to duplicate tapes and disks for Spectrum while I was at home.

I had a 300 Baud Direct Connect Modem that I used to login to various BBS systems.

I bought a Star Gemini 10x Printer with a PBJ Serial to Parallel Interface I used to print disk and cassette labels using programs I wrote.

I eventually added a Composite Adapter and a Lowerkit, as well as an HJL Keyboard. I used my Model I Disk Drives with a disk controller I bough in parts from Tandy National Parts.
