How about the Radio Shack MC-10 computer.  Another one that uses a TV as a
32-wide 16-high monitor.  Cassete tape port, RS-232 port, modem port, and
system bus port round out this little number.  For options theres: RAM
expansion module - plugs on back of system bus & expands 4K internal to
whopping 16K; modem cable, TP-10 32-column thermal printer which attaches via
RS-232 port.

My first program for this little machine was CHESS.  What a challange - chess
program in BASIC with only 3.3 K user RAM (op sys uses 0.7 K of internal 4 K
RAM).  I think I had a few hundred bytes of RAM left over!
