My first was an Ohio Scientific "Superboard 2". 6502 microprocessor, 2 K of RAM, audio tapes for permanent storage, B/W television as monitor, BASIC-in-ROM command-line interpreter. The static RAM chips (1024 x 1 bit each -- it took 16 of them to make 2 kilobytes!!!) threw off enough heat to roast a small animal. Ahhh, those were the good old days!
