<gallery>Image:Tatung Einstein System 2.jpg| Einstein TC01 : Professional yet expensive stuff with 2 DiskDrive slots.Image:256computer.jpg| Einstein 256 : Looks a bit like the CPC664</gallery> The '''Tatung Einstein''' has characteristics very near those of the [[MSX ]] machines (same video modes, same sound chip, sprites, etc.) but is not compatible with this standard. It was built in the UK at Tatung's plant in Telford in Shropshire.
The Einstein runs under Xtal/DOS which is an operating system compatible with CP/M. It was possible to connect an other floppy disk drive and a 80 column card was available.
The Einstein was a very attractive computer but it was too expensive to have great market success.
== Technical Specifications ==
== CPC generation ==
This computer have some similarities with the Amstrad [[CPC ]] (but also with [[MSX]]). <br> :
*It was launched in 1984.
The Einstein 256 casing is not quite unlike a CPC664 casing... The keyboard features arrows and Function keys, the built in 3" diskdrive is on the right.
<br> This computer was used for cross development purpose before PC and AtariST became the norm.
