For the Chicago-based electronica group, see
TRS-80 (group). TRS-80 was
Tandy Corporation's desktop
microcomputer model line, sold through Tandy's
RadioShack stores in the late
1970s and
1980s. Hobbyists, home users, and small-businesses were the intended consumers, and the endearment of the TRS-80 computer by its users resulted in a successful venture for Tandy Corporation. Its leading position in the
1977 Trinity years was mostly due to Tandy retailing it through more than 3000 of its
Radio Shack storefronts. Its other strong features were its full-stroke QWERTY keyboard, its small size, its well-written Floating BASIC, an included monitor, and a price of $599.
