The SPC-1000 is the first Z80-based personal computer produced by Samsung. It was developed in South Korea, with built-in HuBASIC BASIC written by Hudson Soft in Japan. The computer features a 4MHz processor and 64KB of RAM.
History The SPC-1000 launched in 1983 as the first personal computer produced by Samsung. The machine was mainly used in education.
Description The main unit includes the keyboard and a built-in tape recorder. External disk drives, a gamepad, and a dedicated CRT monitor 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. Some games were conversions of popular Arcade games in the early 1980s, adapted to the computer's limitations.
Features The computer has a Zilog Z80 CPU running at 4MHz, and 64KB of RAM. Sound is produced by a General Instrument AY-3-8910 chip, providing 3 voices with 8 octaves each. Video is generated by an AMI S68047 chip (quite similar to the Motorola 6847), offering semigraphics in 9 colors, a 128 × 192 mode in 4 colors, or a 256 × 192 mode in 2 colors.
