    My TRS-80 Model 3 had a similar 80 characters x 16 lines display but monochrome in 1980, with 4kb of ram and cost $1000 USD. So this might be from just a few years later. I bet the screen shown in this ad was enhanced.

      The TRS-80 COCO came out in 1980 and had 16 colors I believe. Mine had 16K, a tape drive, and no monitor (hooked mine up to my grandparents B&W TV).

        Thanks, I figured someone would remember better than me. I forgot all about the CoCo.
