About: Epson QX-10

An Entity of Type: device, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Epson QX-10 is a microcomputer running CP/M or TPM-III (CP/M-80 compatible) which was introduced in 1983. It was based on a Zilog Z80 microprocessor, running at 4 MHz, provided up to 256 KB of RAM organized in four switchable banks, and included a separate graphics processor chip (µPD7220) manufactured by NEC to provide advanced graphics capabilities. In the USA and Canada, two versions were launched; a basic CP/M configuration with 64 KB RAM and the configuration with 256 KB RAM and the special keyboard to be used with the bundled application suite, called Valdocs. TPM-III was used for Valdocs and some copy protected programs like Logo Professor. The European and Japanese versions were CP/M configurations with 256 KB RAM and a graphical Basic interpreter.

  • The Epson QX-10 is a microcomputer running CP/M or TPM-III (CP/M-80 compatible) which was introduced in 1983. It was based on a Zilog Z80 microprocessor, running at 4 MHz, provided up to 256 KB of RAM organized in four switchable banks, and included a separate graphics processor chip (µPD7220) manufactured by NEC to provide advanced graphics capabilities. In the USA and Canada, two versions were launched; a basic CP/M configuration with 64 KB RAM and the configuration with 256 KB RAM and the special keyboard to be used with the bundled application suite, called Valdocs. TPM-III was used for Valdocs and some copy protected programs like Logo Professor. The European and Japanese versions were CP/M configurations with 256 KB RAM and a graphical Basic interpreter. The machine had internal extension slots, which could be used for extra serial ports, network cards or third party extensions like an Intel 8088 processor, adding MS-DOS compatibility. Rising Star Industries was the primary American software vendor for the HASCI QX series. Their product line included the TPM-II and III operating system, Valdocs, a robust BASIC language implementation, a graphics API library used by a variety of products which initially supported line drawing and fill functions and was later extended to support the QX-16 color boards, Z80 assembler, and low level Zapple machine code monitor which could be invoked from DIP switch setting on the rear of the machine.

  • La Epson QX-10 es una microcomputadora con CP/M o TPM-III (compatible con CP/M-80) que se introdujo en 1983. Se basa en el microprocesador Zilog Z80, corriendo a 4 MHz, con hasta 256 KiB de memoria RAM, organizada en cuatro bancos conmutables, e incluyó un chip procesador de gráficos separado fabricado por NEC para proporcionar capacidades gráficas avanzadas. En los Estados Unidos y Canadá se lanzaron dos versiones; una configuración básica CP/M con 64 KB RAM y la configuración HASCI con 256 KB RAM y el teclado especial HASCI para usarse con el paquete de aplicaciones integrado llamado Valdocs. La TPM-III era usada con Valdocs y algunos programas protegidos contra copia como Logo Professor. Las versiones europeas y japonesas eran configuraciones CP/M con 256 kB y un intérprete BASIC gráfico. La máquina tenía ranuras de extensión internas, que podían usarse para puertos seriales adicionales, tales como tarjetas de red o extensiones de terceros como un procesador Intel 8088, agregando compatibilidad con MS-DOS. Rising Star Industries fue el principal proveedor de software estadounidense para la serie HASCI QX. Su línea de productos incluía el sistema operativo TPM-II y III, Valdocs, una implementación robusta del lenguaje BASIC, una biblioteca de API gráfica utilizada por una variedad de productos que inicialmente admitía las funciones de dibujo y relleno de líneas, y luego se extendió para admitir las placas de color del QX-16, ensamblador Z80 y monitor de código de máquina Zapple de bajo nivel que se puede invocar desde el interruptor DIP de configuración en la parte posterior de la máquina.
