Was that the TRS-80 Model 1?


My first was the 16K Extended Color Basic Color Computer with the classic 'Chicklets' keyboard.

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember the C1541 as being a 170K drive.

You’re correct.
I recall cutting tabs in the opposite sides and flipping them over.

360K does sound a bit much for 1983.

Me too. The computer stores even started to carry punches that made perfect rectangular tabs. Remember how a C1541 would clatter and bang with copy protected disks?
