My first. I wasn't very successful with it. Heathkit ET-3400 with hexidecimal keypad and 7-segment LEDs.

Same here! Never could afford the floppy disk drive. I seem to recall it costing almost as much as the computer and I think at the time the 1200XL was retaing for something around $600 to $700. And that was 1983 money.
