The SPC-1000 is the first Z80-based personal computer produced by Samsung.[1] It was developed in South Korea, with built-in HuBASIC BASIC written by Hudson Soft in Japan.[2] The computer features a 4 MHz processor and 64 KB of RAM.
Description
The main unit includes the keyboard and a built-in tape recorder. External disk drives, a gamepad, and a dedicated CRT monitor[4] can be connected to this unit. The computer can run CP/M if equipped with double-sided double-density floppy disk drives.
Software was published on cassette tapes, with more than one hundred games and programs.[5] Some games were conversions of popular Arcade games in the early 1980s, adapted to the computer's limitations.[6][7]
