My first was a Radio Shack "color" computer. With a couple of friends we modified it to run two floppies and read an Eprom. We built battery powered data loggers for field use that recorded temperature data on the Eproms which then could be read by the computer. I prepared a series of little programs to analyze the data to provide the grower with information on high and low temperatures and day degree accumulations. We actually sold some of the units to citrus growers in the San Joaquin Valley in California. We eventually gave up because of the poor quality of the chips we had to buy from hobby suppliers since our needs for chips were such low volume. It was a fun project while it lasted, however.
