Toshiba Pasopia
Toshiba Pasopia is a computer from manufacturer Toshiba, released in 1981 and based around a Zilog Z80 microprocessor.
There are two models, the PA7010 and the PA7012. PA7010 comes with T-BASIC, a version of Microsoft BASIC. PA7012 comes with the more powerful built-in operating system - OA-BASIC developed by Toshiba, capable of sequential file access and automated loading of programs.
The keyboard has 90 keys, a separate numeric keypad and eight function keys. The machine could be expanded with disk drives, extra RAM and offered a RS-232 and a parallel printer port.
In 1982 the machine was sold on the American market as Toshiba T100. It had an optional LCD screen that fitted into the keyboard. Two CRT monitors were available: a 13" green monochrome, and 15" RGB color.
1982 models came with T-BASIC version 1.1.
The machine supported cartridge-type peripherals called PAC, RAM packs with battery backup, Kanji ROM packs and joystick ports. Pascal and OA-BASIC cartridges were on sale.
In 1983 Toshiba released the Pasopia 5 and Pasopia 7, intended as successors to the original Pasopia.
A dedicated magazine, named "Oh! Pasopia" was published in Japan between 1983 and 1987.
