We got one of those as a freebie in the early 80's. Dad bought the
TRS-80 in '78 - Just before the Model 1 Level 2 came out. The Level 2
had a NUMBER PAD on the right...and Dad couldn't stand it so he did
one the earliest case mods I've ever seen - he cut out the Tandy/Radio
Shack Logo on the right side and intalled a number pad.

We bought him the voice synthesizer add-on for Xmas the following
year. Sounded just like WarGames, and it was AWSOME. Everything else
sounded like it was a Sweedish Imigrant, but hey, for 1978/1979 it was
cool.
