Prodest PC 128

The Prodest PC-128 was a rebadged and slightly redesigned version of the French Thomson MO6

Apart from case design touching up, technical features was the same as the MO6.

This machine seems having been sold in very small quantity in Italy.

My dad used to work at Olivetti and got me one of these when I was 4 (1987). Had my first experience with Basic on it. I swapped it for a 80286 IBM compatible after a couple of years but I remember crying a lot because I couldn''t play the games that were available on the C64! However it''s also thanks to this that I built my passion around computing. Proud to have been an owner!

Hi! This was my first PC as well when I was a kid.
I learned coding BASIC from its HUGE manual when I was 8y/o... Here is the link for revival!
