 Since we're voting, I want to put a vote in for the PMC-101
"MicroMate".
The MicroMate is a 128K CP/M computer that is the size of one TRS-80
floppy disk drive, so it fits anywhere. You can add 3 additional
external
drives. And it comes with a utility that allows you to configure any of
the drives as any of (about) 5 different CP/M formats, so you can copy
and translate the format of CP/M disks in one operation. It has built-in
"TERMINAL" and "MODEM" serial ports. And (I don't have it in front of
me)
I believe it also has a built-in parallel printer port.
