EG2000 Colour Genie

The EG 2000 Colour Genie, produced by the Hong Kong-based company EACA, is an early personal computer that entered the market in August 1982.

This computer focused on delivering improved graphical capabilities and colour options compared to its predecessor, the EACA Video Genie, which only operated in monochrome.

The Colour Genie was powered by a Z80A microprocessor running at 2.2 MHz. It came standard with 16 KB of RAM, which could be expanded to 32 KB.

In terms of graphical display, the Colour Genie supported a resolution of 96x160 pixels with the ability to display 4 colors.

Interestingly, this computer makes use of the same chips as the Amstrad CPC: the Z80 CPU, the CRTC 6845, and the AY-3-8910 sound chip.
