So Commodore it was.
You may have been asking if the TRS-80 is the no-name computer that I owned prior to owning the Commodore. If so, no the TRS-80 wasn't. I may have mentioned in my post that it was a time when there were lots of "no-name" companies trying to produce the definitive desktop computer; the company that produced this one was just one of the many. I don't remember the name that the manufacturer stuck on the machine, but it definitely wasn't Commodore anything or TRS anything. When the dust settled, though, there was basically only Commodore and, as you mentioned, TRS-80. That's my recollection of history
