We had a TI 99 4a that had a cassette drive. I spent hours typing programs from a book and saving them on tape.

One of them made a circle (ball) bounce around the screen. You could even change the color of the ball and background... Pretty sweet...

I don't think the Amiga ever came with a cassette tape drive for loading programs. From the very first A1000, they used 3.5" floppy disks.

My bad and my apology.

My Amiga did have the floppy.  My Atari had the tape drive.

I had one of those too.  It had the tape deck and I think it had a slot for game cartridges.

It did have a game cartridge slot. I had Parsec, Blasto, and Chisolm Trail.

The inside of the top cover of the A1000 was embossed with the signatures of the original design team...and a paw print. I also remember soldering extra RAM chips to the daughter board to double the internal memory.  :aok
