Here's the TI-99/4 console with all of the Texas Instruments sidecars attached: Speech Synthesizer, Memory Expansion, RS-232 Serial Controller (with telephone modem), Video Controller, Disk Controller, Thermal Printer, and two floppy drives (attached to the Disk Controller).



i had the modem and the thermal printer, but not the floppy drives (i wrote everything to "audio" cassette).

we had one of these at home:



My mom's company purchased it for us. She brought home tapes (not cassettes....big tape disk) that had the entire plant computer system backed up on it each night. I used to be a bad mofo' cause I'd bring my 2nd grade essays to school typed on word perfect instead of written on ruled paper  [laugh]



used to play some awesome helicopter game too...and qubert!

I had Lode Runner for my Commodore 64.

That was in the early 80s IIRC.
