/* Matra Alice 32 */
Released in 1984, it shared the case style of the original, but was a different computer inside, due to using the EF9345 video chip instead of the weaker Motorola 6847. This gave it higher resolution semi-graphic mode 320 x 250 pixels max in 8 colours. The Alice 32 had 8 kilobytes of main RAM, 8 kilobytes of dedicated video RAM, and 16 kilobytes ROM (the ROM incorporated an assembler). The CPU was clocked at 1 MHz.
Due to the difference in graphics coprocessor processor between the Alice 4k and the Alice 32/90, as well as the RAM, software written in assembly for one machine was incompatible with the other.
However, programs written in Basic 1.0 remained relatively compatible, provided that instructions specific to the Alice 32/90 were not used.
