The TK83 was a home computer produced by the Brazilian company Microdigital Eletrônica Ltda. and introduced in August 1982.[1][2][3][4][5] By December 1984, it was no longer being advertised by Microdigital, being discontinued in 1985.[6][7]
The TK83 was a clone of the Sinclair ZX81,[8][5][9][10][11][12] and can for all practical purposes, be considered a version of the TK82C with repagged memory and including the SLOW function which permitted the video be shown during processing.[3]
