I worked by Philips in 1969 en was a programmer. In 1973 I had my own company and we made software for alle Philips office computers. The P330 was one of them. I think is was the best product of all. We made hundreds of applications for this model in the Netherlands. It has indeed a 12" screen (white characters 25 x 80) en two 8" floppy drives 1,2 MB.
A harddisk was optional. The programming language was Phocal. (Philips Office Computer Assembly Language).
The printer was a 9 pins dot matrix, 100 cps. The P330 was the last product of the Philips Office computers series. Then Philips came with the mircro computers and later the IBM compatibele PC''s.
In 1992 the Philips computer dream was ended. It was a good time and good products.

I programmed this computer and it''s brothers and sisters: P172, P173, P300 series until 1983.
The P330 was the last model, the simpliest version costed over 80000 HFL, ca. 40000 euro. Just before the rising of microprocessors and pc''s.

They were mainly used for local administration, invoicing and such with an interface to central financial systems on mainframes. All bookings where written on ECMA cassettes which were sent to the central computer company.
Triumph had similar systems.

P172 was programmed with Pholas, the rest with Phocal, an assembler language. Programming the P172 was a bit of a nuisance, entering codelines into the computer itself.
Programs for the P173 onwards could be entered and assempled on a bigger P4000 computer.

I used the earlier version of this machine without a display back in the late 70s. It was the first computer I ever operated. Some called it a "billing machine" but it was a real computer because we had to call a guy in to program it when it had problems. We kept accounts on the A4 sized cards with magnetic strips. I got pretty fast at working this machine.
