Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

In late 1984, the East German electronics manufacturer, VEB Robotron, acquired the licence of manufacturing licenced copies of the Commodore 64c computer system. They introduced the MCM 686 System in June 1985, which the first computers were eqipped with genuine imported CPUs. The MCM 686 System II was introduced in Febuary 1986, with German-made CPU, A85C10, a clone of MOS 6510 rated at a higher 1.33mHz. Although being a clone of Commodore 64, this model has 128KB RAM and 32KB ROM instead of 64KB and 20KB. The system was avaliable in Europe, Asia and Africa, and was parallel imported to North America. MSRP of the whole set (includes display, casette reader, ONE diskette drive and system software) in 1986 is US$695. The MCM 612 System II is the clone of Commodore 128, but came with 192KB RAM and 96KB ROM. The CPUs used are A85HB2 (clone of MOS 8502 rated at a higher 2.33MHz) and Robotron U880 (clone of Zilog Z80). The MCM 602 is the clone of Commodore 128D with detachable keyboard and integrated 1571 diskette drive, but with an even larger RAM of 256KB.
