Had one of those too - over time it grew a DSDD floppy and a 5meg (Oh
the power) Trantor hard drive in the other floppy slot. A 300baud modem
and it was everything I could want - until I saw a President that was.

Had to have one and foolishly sold the O1 - The President was a piece
of absolute crap that spent most of its time at the Agent awaiting
repairs. The only thing the President had going for it was the included
"P-system" which became (aside form basic) the basis for my first
forays away from machine code.
