 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 ...

 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 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.
There are 128...

 PHILIPS P/330
These photos were sent by Pablo Alvarez Doval (Thank you!). This computer belongs to his uncle, unfortunately, he has no information about it. He says: "It's a huge computer, built in a metallic desk, with a printer, two 8" floppy drives, 12" green-screen monitor (I am not sure, but I do believe it is 12"), and a keyboard, everything you needed built in. It even had a chair to compliment it! Obviously, it is some kind of office computer".
It has indeed a 12" screen (white characters 25 x 80) ...

 ATARI 7800 ProSystem
The Atari 7800 ProSystem was originally scheduled for release in late 1984, as the follow-up to Atari’s misguided 5200 SuperSystem, but didn’t see release until 1986, when it retailed for approximately $140 (USA). Instead of competing with comparatively weaker systems like the 5200 and Coleco’s ColecoVision, the later release date for the 7800 brought direct competition from the more robust Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), released in late 1985, and the Sega Master System (SMS), which, like ...

 ACORN COMPUTER ABC 310
Acorn's ABC-310 was to be the flagship of the Acorn business computer range. As far as I can tell, the 310 is the rarest variant, and it is the only one to have no direct equivalent available via a 2nd Processor card.
When the ABC range was dissolved, Acorn already had 2nd Processors (a method of adding a new CPU to the BBC, similar to adding a Z80 on a card to an Apple II, but very different in execution and with far more applications) - the 65C02, the Z80, the Acorn Scientific 16032 (1MB R...

 DURANGO F85
The Durango was built by Durango Systems, Inc in San Jose, CA. It came with a 8085 processor running at 5 MHz, 64K memory as standard and could be expanded to 128K in the multiuser version.
The F-85 was marketed as a portable computer with integrated 180 cps dot matrix printer, two floppy disc drives and a 9" monitor. Well, only very strong users could carry it ;-)
The Durango ran a proprietary operating system, DX-85, as well as CPM. DX-85 had multiuser extensions an...

 HEWLETT PACKARD HP-65
The HP-65 is arguably the most elegant and classic pocket calculator ever built.
Boasting many firsts, including being the first fully programmable hand-held
calculator with built-in magnetic card reader, it was used for course
corrections on Apollo, and was introduced as "The Personal Computer" when
keypunch machines were still the most common input device for mainframes.
While pricey, nearly $800 back in 1974, its quality and innovations garnered many enthusiasts, spawning clubs like ...

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.
