Dick Smith System-80 Educator Computer brochure + letter - ChickenMan - 08-08-2022
Thanks to kimjohn for making these documents available to be scanned. Scanned at 300 dpi and converted to searchable PDF's as usual. The brochure is A4 in size and 20 pages long.
The Dick Smith Educator Computer was basically a System-80 Mark 2 but with a different badge. The additional utility firmware built into the Educator's ROM memory includes a full communications terminal program. A low-cost PAL-D colour graphics display board was also available as well as a High resolution graphics adapter.
Also with the Brochure, there was a single page letter to the Science and Maths Teachers outlining the benefits of the Educator Computer :-
We have finally done it! After extensive research we have
launched a computer designed specifically for school use.
So in the Vintage Repository in the System-80\Documentation\Brochures folder we placed
