I had one around 1984. Twin 720K floppy drives (half height). 256 color with a 12" green monitor and 14" color. 6MHz 8088 processor. They used the image of a butterfly (256 color GIF image) a lot in their promotional material and trade floor displays. For the time it was an impressive machine. Very well engineered.

We are looking for a Toshiba T300 Pasopia 16 computer. Can you help ?

Picked up the US version of this recently for a dollar, 10MB external HDD, 5.25 96tpi DD x 2, and a green monochrome monitor. apparently uses a proprietary version of MS-DOS 2.x specifically tailored to this machine. Wish I had a copy.

I had one "le pap". It was my 1st PC. using MS-DOS 2.3. My screen was a 8 shades of green (not 50 of grey)80*25. UC was very heavy: at least 15Kg. it''s keyboard was noisy but robust. The HDD was ooo then I Had to use 5.25 Disk-drive (360Ko for system+apps )
