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.
The SPC-1000 launched in 1983 as the first personal computer produced by Samsung.[3] The machine was mainly used in education.[4]
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]
The computer has a Zilog Z80 CPU running at 4 MHz,[2] and 64KB of RAM. Sound is produced by a General Instrument AY-3-8910 chip, providing 3 voices with 8 octaves each.[2] Video is generated by an AMI S68047 chip (quite similar to the Motorola 6847[8]), offering semigraphics in 9 colors, a 128 × 192 mode in 4 colors, or a 256 × 192 mode in 2 colors.[2] [9]
There are 65 known SPC-1000 video games.[10] [11]
