Was it this one? I used to have it and loved programming with it. Radio Shack PC-2.

That is it! I might still have it stashed away some place. I bought it in 1980 I think. I also had the cradle with printer built in to go with it. It worked until way into the mid 1990s when it finally died. You could plug in a cassette recorder and use that to store programs and data. Great little device for its day!
