Thomson TO9
The Thomson TO9 is a home computer introduced by French company Thomson SA in 1985. It's based on the Thomson TO7/70 with new features. It included a built-in 320 Kb 3.5" floppy drive unit, and inputs for light pen, joystick, and mouse. The ROM included some utilities like: two BASIC versions, a word processor (''Paragraphe'') and a database program (''Fiche & Dossiers''). The machine was compatible with the previous TO7 and TO7/70 models. Ten games were released for the TO9. Introduced in October 1985, the Thomson TO9 was quickly replaced with the Thomson TO9+ The Thomson TO9+ is a home computer introduced by French company Thomson SA in 1986. It kept the professional look of the Thomson TO9 by using a separate keyboard (lower end models usually had an integrated keyboard). It's based on the Thomson ... that came out in 1986.

Motorola 6809
The Motorola 6809 ("''sixty-eight-oh-nine''") is an 8-bit microprocessor with some 16-bit features. It was designed by Motorola's Terry Ritter and Joel Boney and introduced in 1978. Although source compatible with the earlier Motorola 6800, the 6809 offered significant improvements over it and 8-bit contemporaries like the MOS Technology 6502, including a hardware multiplication instruction, 16-bit arithmetic, system and user stack registers allowing re-entrant code, improved interrupts, position-independent code and an orthogonal instruction set architecture with a comprehensive set of addressing modes. Among the most powerful 8-bit processors of its era, it was also much more expensive. In 1980 a 6809 in single-unit quantities was compared to for a Zilog Z80 and for a 6502. It was launched when a new generation of 16-bit processors were coming to market, like the Intel 8086, and 32-bit designs were on the horizon, including Motorola's own 68000. It was not feature competitiv ...

Thomson EF936x
The Thomson SA, Thomson EF936x series is a type of Graphic Display Processor (GDP) by STMicroelectronics, Thomson-EFCIS. The Microchip, chip could draw at 1 million pixels per second, which was relatively advanced for the time of its release (1982 or earlier). There are various versions of the chip (EF9364, EF9365, EF9366, EF9367, SFF96364, EF9369), with slightly different capabilities. In 1982 Commodore International, Commodore released a "High Resolution Graphics" board for the Commodore PET, PET based on the EF9365 and EF9366 chips, allowing it to display 512 x 512 or 512 x 256 resolution graphics. The EF9366 was also used on the SMP-E353 graphic card for the Siemens computer series and on the NDR-Klein-Computer introduced in 1984. Version EF9369 was used on computers such as the Thomson MO5NR, Thomson MO6, Thomson TO8, Thomson TO9 and Thomson TO9+, from 1985 to 1989. Versions Based on the 1989 data book published by the company, the EF936x series was split into ''Graphics C ...

Thomson TO9+
The Thomson TO9+ is a home computer introduced by French company Thomson SA in 1986. It kept the professional look of the Thomson TO9 by using a separate keyboard (lower end models usually had an integrated keyboard). It's based on the Thomson TO8 and fully compatible with it. This also enables it to run Thomson MO6 software. The computer was designed to be used as a Minitel server and has a built-in V23 modem (with a speed of 1200/75 bauds). This feature was accessible under BASIC BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages designed for ease of use. The original version was created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College ... and from the communication software that came with the computer. The machine was sold with a word processing program (''Paragraphe''), a database (''Fiches & Dossiers'') and a spreadsheet (''Multiplan''). Compared with the TO9, the TO9+ added: * Basi ...
