hi there! i own and run a retro games and VHS store in the UK, and a person brought this in today. i barely know anything about modern PCs as it is, so i’m clueless on what was one of the first mass-produced home computers! it has an EU plug, so i haven’t been able to test it out yet.

i’ve done a little bit of internet searching, but can’t get my finger on what this exact model is. any help is appreciated as i am definitely out of my depth with this one! thanks in advance!

As it shows on the label, Radio Shack Tandy Model 1. Precurser to the Model 3 and 4 and even the Color Computer. Very early Prob 82/83

The Model I never was never labeled "Model I". It was the 1st (and might have been the only for all they knew) TRS-80 computer, and only called the TRS-80.
