TRS-80 CoCo-II was my first machine..  I could never afford a floppy drive 
though so wasn't able to really do OS/9 (plus I think you needed the CoCo-III 
for that.

My first computing experience was on the TRS-80 Model-I.  Only 4kB of RAM bout 
our school could afford a DUAL floppy drive!  Of course if you powered off 
the system with a disc in the drive the flux collapse from the biased R/W 
reads would "zap" you floppy and cause corruption -- causing you to lose the 
blocky space invaders game that you just spent four hours typing in by hand 
and debugging.
