"Matthew Reed passed away on August 21, 2025. His site is being preserved by Ira Goldklang of www.TRS-80.com. There will be no further updates to this web site."

"The Selectra-Print (originally known as the Selec-Term) was a device that connected a TRS-80 Model I to an IBM Selectric electric typewriter. It was sold by Micro Computer Devices Inc. of Anaheim, California. The TRS-80 version of the Selectra-Print cost $1,925.00 and included a modified Selectric II as part of the package."

"The Selectric was an electric typewriter that used a “typeball” (which was removable and changeable) instead of individual typebars. IBM introduced the original Selectric (later known as the Selectric I) in 1961 and an improved version, the Selectric II, in 1971. The Selectric produced excellent output and eventually gained 75% of the United States electric typewriter market."

"Anyone who subscribed to TRS-80 magazines such as 80 Micro or The Rainbow will probably remember the advertisements for Computer Plus of Littleton, Massachusetts. They ran advertisements (usually full-page) for almost the entire life of the TRS-80 line. What they sold were Radio Shack computers and other hardware at prices lower than Radio Shack sold them itself."
