No, but that backback usually came out at the inappropriate time. I also
had the thermal printer and several spools of paper. I think the original
price may have been $90 and then went to $25. Programs were loaded with a
tape machine I believe similiar to Commodore 64. I then inherited an ATT
6300 computer with a 286 chip from my dad in the late 1980s just before the
386 came out. The computer had a 20 meg HD and ran MS-DOS 3.0 or could be
set up with System V Unix. Had the worst monochrome green screen imaginable
but was a workhorse and I used that computer through college and some in my
first jobs. Gave it away though (Arrhhh).
