Real Keyboard
A full feature ‘typewriter-style’ keyboard, with a logical cursor key cluster and standard numeric
entry keypad which doubles use for function key purposes.
Built-in cassette

user complications with hookup, level setting etc. Writing at either 1kBaud or 2kBaud (software
selectable), with read speeds automatically established by software.
BASIC
A ‘written in England’ industry standard BASIC, faster and more versatile than you have come to
expect from such BASICs, with many extensions for graphics and sound, plus extensive support in
firmware.
Extended character set
A full 8-bit character set including symbols and graphics is accessible largely via the keyboard, and
using CHR$(n) functions.
Elapsed Time
Interrupts are generated by frame scans providing for elapsed time facilities.

the repeat parameters. A complete 255 character set (all ASCII plus over 100 more), optionally user
re-definable.
