Radio Shack TRS-80 Pocket Computer
The very first Pocket Computer
Here is what this Pocket Computer looks like
My father bought one of these first PCs in the early 80's. He fast got rid of it just because he could not understand the benefit he would get from it, so he gave it to me. This PC was my first PC, and it was the beginning of my love story with computers.
This computer is the ancestor of all pocket computers so far. To sum up its limitations, let's say that its RAM was of only 1 Kb. I had no way of printing or storing my programs, so I just had to write them down on a piece of paper and reinput them manually when I wanted to use them back.

Christophe wrote some very interesting Web pages about the clone of the TRS-80 Pocket Computer, the famous Sharp PC-1211. All tricks (about how to read the memory space even though this computer had no PEEK instruction) work just as well with the TRS-80 Pocket Computer. For those of you who can read French, you should give a look to the
The hidden side of the Sharp PC-1211 page.
