| Note | A typical configuration has 8 or 16Kb of RAM. Micropolis MDOS and CP/M-1.4 are available only with the disk controller. The display was indeed 16x64, and supported graphics configuration characters to allow 3x the bits compared to the bytes, so was not purely text. That was not really supported, you had to work that yourself, but it was not a dumb TTY. |

| Configurations | $2300 in 1977 was the price for the 16K model + cassette tape version. | ||
