This mini forum is intended to provide a simple means of discussion about the Epcom / Sharp Hotbit HB-8000 computer. If you want to share your own experience or memories, or add relevant information about this system: post a message!

There''s a TV commercial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v$7PeCWm_trY8) from december 1985 which shows the Hotbit being sold for Cr$3,900,00.00 (yes, nearly 4 million cruzeiros). That would have meant about US$400 as the exchange rate was Cr$10,000.00 that month (things were very dinamic then!). In 2015 dollars, that''s US$877.77.
