Yes.... now that you say it I *do* remember the Super Elf though I never had one.
I still have my TRS-80 Level II with the (gasp!) "Expansion Interface", a poorly moulded plastic slab that increased the memory up to 48 K !!! And an 80K disk drive. Bought 22 years ago for $4,800, about the price of a car at the time. I paid $148 to install a chip that allows lower-case characters as well. Did it myself, cutting traces on the board and soldering in the new chip. Imagine tackling your new PC with a soldering iron. < g >
I remember turning on the machine would cause a click, clickety-click, click sound before you could start work, a wait of maybe 2 seconds. Shame that little item got lost during the progress that followed.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
