Mine was an Apple ][+.

(And yes, that's how you write it properly. I'm a pedant.)

I would have it no other way. I am the same. 😂

When I was a kid my folks bought the TI 99/4A for some ridiculous reason. It's interesting to look back at the weird hardware that never made it, like the cartridges that thing used instead of 5¼" floppies that were also out at the time. Maybe it reminded them of inserting 8 tracks.

The TI99 had an (optional) external expansion box that allowed it to use floppy disks.

Never saw the floppy external, but at some point we ended up with a peripheral that read data off cassettes.

I think the 99/4A also had a cassette tape drive you could buy. I don't think they ever made a floppy drive for it though.
