I have one for one of the 2 trs80 model 1 i have. It's a small box that plugs
into the computer. It uses small carts that looks kinda like cassette tapes.
the media actually looks like thin fishing line. I don't have any of the
carts though. i spoke with a guy that used one and said it was random acess
device and was slow, although much faster than cassette tapes.
