There is very small information of it on internet anyway.
I'd be interested to know what the software on this SCSI hard drive is like. Was the software also written by TT and works similarly to today's? At least the file type of the directories on the Thor was (file type 3) instead of the later 255.

It sure does. I have one of those Sony cassette decks that's all plastic...and it works perfectly fine. However, I do recall in the 80s having a RadioShack one that looked more like yours. Metal speaker grill and sharp corners. A cassette recorder was a bit of a bigger deal then so they made it look a bit more stylish and used better material than just a couple of cheap plastic molds.
