Around 1982 I think.
Had it's own version of DOS.
A real powerhouse...used a cassette recorder for storage
| What about a Commodore 64 - that's 64KB of memory, quite a massive amount
| <vbg>
|
| A friend of mine lent me one for a few months some time ago. He was not
| computer literate and wanted to know what I thought of it.
|
| It cost $A800 and had no monitor or external devices.
| The whole device was contained in the keyboard, and plugged into a TV set
| as a monitor. Data could be read to/from cassette tapes via an interface.
|
| Ah, the good old days. I think it was the 80s
