 CDSE Apply 300
Very little is known about this very rare Brazilian computer.
CDSE stands for Centre de Desenvolvimento de Sistemas Eletricos. The Apply 300 is a home computer aimed at computing initiation. As usual with most Brazilian computers, it must be a copy of a more famous computer... but which one ?

 HINO ELECTRONICS CEFUCOM 21 / Multipurpose SLAP Computer

 SANYO PHC-20
The PHC-20 was released at the same time as the PHC-10 and PHC-25, in 1982. Sanyo wanted to offer a perfect line of products for computing initiation. These three models were supposed to be complementary. But despite high hopes, they just were flops and it's not clear if the PHC-20 was even really sold, as only one or two were found until today. Most pictures found on the net come from press articles from the 80s.

 SHEEN Sheen 2001 Home Video Center
The Sheen 2001 is one of the many systems "software-compatible" with the Emerson Arcadia 2001. This family of consoles released around 1982, includes many sub-categories depending on the cosmectic plastic case used, the motherboards version and above all its cartridge slot type. That's why all these systems are "software" compatible, but not "cartridge" compatible.
The Sheen 2001 Home Video Centre was marketed in Australia. The other systems using the sam...

 ACORN COMPUTER BBC Master AIV
In 1986, the 900th Anniversary of the Norman Domesday Book, the BBC and
the National Curriculum, amongst other UK bodies, endeavoured to
produced a 20th Century equivalent. Recently the Domesday project has
had renewed interest, as the sense of producing such an ambitious
undertaking then storing the results on a strange, and now forgotten,
format has been called into question many times since!
For old-computers.com readers, the interesting bits are not terribly

The controllers are quit...

 SHARP SM-B-80TE
the SM-B-80TE and the SM-B-80TC training boards seem to be the first computers made by Sharp having the general public in mind.
At the time, a professional division of Sharp already sold a range of computers called Hayac. These boards, as well as the first MZ computer series were conceived by the Sharp parts division as a market test.
The same board concept could be found in the USA since 1985 (MOS Kim 1, Intel SD...

CASIO FX-700P
As Ivan says, the interior of the MK-85 has nothing in common with the Casio, using the KA1013VM1 processor, one of a family that grew out of the original DEC LSI-11 cpu clone. The PDP roots ran deep: it can be programmed in the DEC assembly language MACRO-11. Using an N-Queens benchmark, BASIC 10m45s, fast mode BASIC 2m, assembly 1.22s, fast mode assembly 0.22s.

TANDY RADIO SHACK Color Computer 3
Website link is for Tandy CCR (Cassette Recorder) information.
Also, does anyone know if the CoCo3 video output can all be used at the same time? (for mirror display output, such as the RF coax output + RCA composite output, and maybe the RGB as well? )

ATT PC 6300
I was a third-party computer field service technician 1987-2002.
The customer I serviced used AT$T 6300''s with an SNA card on IBM mainframe system. These were used as remote job entry stations attached to Printronix P600XQ line printers at 20 sites in New York City.
The first time I opened the system case I was surprised to see that 120V power for the monitor was supplied through the DB9 connector on the monochrome video card, so servicing this model could be a shocking experience for the uninitiated technician! I recall we had to install a date patch for the AT$T operating system software to make it Y2K compliant.
