"Single instance" machines

X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.1 beta -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN How about the Philips P2000 family? I have not seen messages about those machines on the list. Z80 system, 48K RAM, 16K ROM in a cart so it was easy to change programs, micro cassette recorder that was operated by the computer so no fiddling with buttons, floppy drives optional, video 40x24 color (viewdata/teletext character set) or 80x24 monochrome. Started life as a dedicated word processor, BASIC cart added later. There was a disk operating system that could work with the programs originally meant for cassette use only, and CP/M was available. P2000T was the 40x24 cassette version, P2000M was the 80x24 disk version. There also was a P2000C, which was a 'portable' machine like the Kaypro's, but it ran CP/M only and was not compatible with the P2000T/M. AFAIK they were all developed and produced in the Philips factories in Austria.
