 General Information
Dick Smith's first computer release, although re-badged from a
foreign manufacturer. Label advises us that it is a "Third
Generation Computer"
Notes:
This machine is called a "third
generation" computer because it uses Silicon Chips (surprise!)
as opposed to transistors (second generation) or tubes (first
generation). Believe it or not, it is a TRS-80 Model 1 compatable
machine with Microsoft Basic, which is the same as Level II basic in
the TRS-80 Model 1. Designed in South Africa, where they are sold as
"TRZ-80", sold in the UK as the "Video Genie",
sold in the USA as the "PMC-80". Dick Smith sold around
11,000 units.
