The Felix PC was originally designed at the Polytechnical Institute of Bucharest, as a laboratory system, between 1983 and 1984. It was then taken by ICE Felix for mass production from 1985 to 1990.
First Felix PC models had a modular structures, with a 8 or 16-bit bus, depending on the microprocessor used, 8088 or 8086. The 32K video card allowed a RGBI monitor or a PAL or NTSC TV set to be connected. Later, the card was updated for CGA and EGA monitors.
Latest versions were close to the IBM PC features: 4.77 MHz 8088, 256 to 640 KB of RAM and an optional 20 MB hard disk.

The price was in a different year - in that year a Dacia (romanian car) price was around 1.000.000 (one million lei)

the price is odd... 150''000 lei? that''s twice as much as the national car Dacia (an Renault 12 clone), which was priced 70''000 lei!
