 GESPAC Gescomp 720 / 730
GESPAC SA was a Swiss company who designed the G-64/96 Bus in 1979.
This interface bus concept provides a simple way to interface microprocessor modules with memory and peripheral modules on a parallel bus. The G-64/96 Bus uses a simple, yet modern and powerful interface scheme which allows a higher level of functionality from the single height Eurocard form factor. The low overhead of the G-64/96 Bus interface greatly eases the design of custom boards by the User. This is why, even many year...

 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 compatible. It's thus an hybrid machine typical of the mid-80s when the professional industry was moving from CP/M to MS-DOS.
There is 128 KB...

 JOSTYKIT MULTI-TV-GAME HF 344
One of the rare system from Danemark. This was sold as a do-it-yourself kit to solder. It came with a documentation on how to build it up. It's a very basic system which includes an AY-3-8500 GI chip but wich offers very few options (slow or fast and that's all !).
It looks very nice with its sheet metal. One player uses the control knob inserted in the system case while the other player use a detachable paddle. The system is very small and can easily be carried away. There is no internal sp...

 ADDS Mentor 2000
There is almost no information available about this M2000 minicomputer.
ADDS (Applied Digital Data Systems) was a subsidiary of NCR Corp.
The ADDS Mentor 2000 is a serious multi-user business machine the size of a small refrigerator. This system runs the "PICK" operating system. If you ask knowlegable people what "PICK" is, some will say "Operating System" (OS), and the others will say "Database Management System" (DBMS). Both are correct, the PICK operating system is designed around a power...

 TRIUMPH ADLER TA-1000
Little is known about this early computer from german company Triumph Adler. Hopefully, Rudolf L. Schörger who worked there at the time, sent us some very precious information (in German):
"1973 begann bei Triumph-Adler die Serienproduktion der TA 1000.
Ich war damals im Prüffeld tätig. Nur mit einem Oszillografen ausgerüstet, mußte ich defekte CPUs reparieren. Das ging nur deshalb, weil an die TA1000 ein Testtablau anschließbar war. Mit diesem konnten auf der Hardwar...

 TATUNG PC-2000
After having launched a home computer, the Einstein, Tatung tried to tackle the small business market with this PC-2000 system. Ease of use, attractive price and expandability were their main desing criteria.
The PC-2000 was actually a standard CP/M based machine. However, a large range of powerful options could be added whitch impressively increased system capabilities:
• The serial interface board contained 14 RS232 serial ports and the PC-2000 could add up ...

 PHILIPS Odyssey 2100
This one was available shortly after the Odyssey 2001 pong system. Based upon the same principles it offers more game thanks to a new chipset. As its little brother, the Odyssey 2100 had no equivalent system in the USA under the Magnavox brand. The most related system was the Odyssey 4000...
The National Semiconductor MM-57186-N chipset can play 6 different colour games with variations, resulting in a total of 23 available games. The six games are Footbal...

 INTERSYSTEMS DPS-1
InterSystems was the computers brand name of the Ithaca company which previously manufactured various cards for other mainframe makers.
The DPS-1 is based on the S-100 bus. It seems to be a copy of the Altair 8800 and Cromemco Z-1 systems. The case had a 20-card capacity and can support 8 and 16 bit processors.
With a 16-bit Zilog Z8000 processor, the system could take up to 256 KB of RAM and run the Unix operating system, a...

 METROLOGIE BFM 186
The BFM 186 is a CAD computer. The expansion slots are not compatible with the IBM PC's : they are 16 bit slots contrary to the PC's which are 8 bit.
The graphic system of this computer is a bit ugly : it has two video processors, one of them handles a character plane and the other one handles three graphic planes. Each graphic plane has a resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels but only a part of these planes (960 x 625) can be displayed, moreover, each plan can be zoomed (from 1 to 16) and can scro...

DATAPOINT CORPORATION Datapoint 2200
During my senior year of high school in 1970 in Hobart, Oklahoma, my math teacher somehow was able to purchase a computer. He and I learned how to program it (machine code, I think). Our first program was to solve quadratic equations. I can''t remember the brand of the computer, but as I recall it looked like the pictures of the CTC computers. If my memory is correct, programs were stored on a magnetic card that you ran through a reader. Can anyone confirm if there was a CTC computer like this that would have been available in the spring of 1970?

VIDEO TECHNOLOGY LASER 3000
I had the vtech 3000 version sold in the USA. It didn''''t support Low-Res Apple II mode$this would show garble on the screen..Lots of freeware/Public domain software used this mode. Also, some of the ads in computer shopper implied it had 192k of RAM, when in reality, it only had 64k, so any 128K //c-//e software was out too. The Up arrow key didn''''t work in Apple II software, although it did seem to work in the enclosed "Magic //e" word processor. It also came with MagicMemory Database and MagicCalc spreadsheet. I couldn''''t get Ultima V to load on it, even though the box said 64k. I''''d say most high-res 64k games did work though.

XEROX 820-II
Again, not a "bad" computer per se, but much better was out there in 1983. 8" floppies where already sliding into obsolescence. Some of the same great software was becoming available for the new IBM PC and PC/XT and the new Apple //e had some great productivity software coming soon. This was a case of too little improvement coming too late. A Kaypro 10 was a better deal that was at least as good, or better, at a lower price and excellent build quality. Xerox leadership was caught in the 1970''s or something.
