The Codimex CD-6809 was an 8-bit home computer produced in Brazil by the company Codimex Imp.Exp. de Computadores Ltda from Porto Alegre.[1][2][3] It was introduced in early 1983, during the Brazilian "Market Reserve" period, and based on the TRS-80 Color Computer.[4][5][6][7]
The CD-6809 was the first Brazilian home computer compatible with the TRS-80 Color line.[4][8] It was marketed as a computer for small business, entertainment and self employed professionals, and was sold with a 149-page user manual.[9][10]
Around 380 units were produced at the Porto Alegre plant.[11] The machine can be emulated under MAME.[12]
