Hardware

There was a great deal of add-on hardware available for the TRS-80. Radio Shack sold “official” hardware products in their catalog and stores. Many hobbyists developed their own hardware projects, which were often published in newsletters and magazines. Third-party companies sold add-on hardware, and some of this hardware became more popular than the Radio Shack equivalents.
