This mini forum is intended to provide a simple means of discussion about the Videoton  TV Computer computer. If you want to share your own experience or memories, or add relevant information about this system: post a message!

Videotron is also a big cable company in Canada

Can you imagine a network from these PCs?
I had worked on it! It means that 8 TVC was connected to a standalone floppy disk drive (which was able to handle 2 (!) disks). So it was possible to "distribute" data from this common FDD. But mainly we stored our programs written in Basic to tape drives. And a story: When you were ready with your program and tried to connect the tape - or doing any other hasty movement - knocked the table under your TVC you had a great chance of a reboot... ;-)

The tvc.homeserver.hu page is updated frequently, new emulators, more fotos, documentation, and programs are avaible from time to time.

That weird picture is a rare 3200 expansion pack that gives 3 and 1 half slots for floppy discs and more expansion slots.

Many scanned documentations, the newest downloadable emulator. At this time not ready, but frequently updated. (Games are comming soon...)

Good old times! With a russian Junosty televison together! And I'm wondering why I wear eyeglasses :-) I lived in Tab, where the VideoTon factory was Loacted (now it's a Flextronics factory) sure, that I had one of this beauties! And with all cool upgrades, likes 1.2 and 2.2 system, UPM and DOS system and a dual floppy drive too!!
Unfortunatelly I sold the whole thing... that was a mistake.

I have one at home... thinkin of combining it with my TV Tuner card :)

It's good to see this Hungarian computer from the 80s.
It makes me feel proud of my country, even if I have never seen any of it working.

There is a great homepage about TVC in location http://bat21.freeweb.hu/tvc
