 ECD CORPORATION Micromind
The Micromind was a very innovative machine ahead of its time ! But despite the small group working on the machine, prototyping and developing, and pushing the limits of the time, the machine never shipped. Apparently only a few prototypes were produced.
Development began as early 1975/1976 but commercial adverts appeared only in 1977.
One of the main features of the Micromind was its innovative (for the time) redefinable characters. Up to 120 characters could be software redefined by the ...

 WELECT W86
The W86 is a french computer released in 1983 by Welect. It's the second computer released by Welect after the W80.2.
The W86 is powered by an Intel 8086 (hence its name) to catch up with the IBM PC compatible trend of the moment and is thus able to run MS-DOS. But the W86 is also equipped with a Z80A to also be CP/M 86 compatible. It's thus an hybrid machine typical of the mid-80s when the professional industry was moving from CP/M to MS-DOS.

 COMMODORE Amiga CD32
In a last ditch attempt to get a foothold in the lucrative console market Commodore launched the Amiga CD32. After their previous effort with the C64 GS failed and the strange decision to advertise the Amiga 600 as a games machine that could be used as a computer it was vital that the CD32 succeeded.
The CD32 is notable for being the first 32 bit CD-ROM based console ever released (the Pla...

 NINTENDO Super Nintendo Entertainment System

 ROLLET Videocolor

VIDEO TECHNOLOGY LASER 128 / 128EX / 128EX2
I have never seen a Laser 128 in France, but I have had the Laser 500 running under Dos and it was not bad for the price, then there was not much software or games for the Laser 500, in all about ten video games and a few programs: spreadsheet, word processing, etc...
I never found an Laser 128 XE or XE/2 model that was more powerful than the Apple II, which I would have liked to test since I also had an Apple IIc, but I never found a Laser 128 in France.
