Spectravideo SV-328 (USA 1983)

The Spectravideo had a Z80 CPU running at 3.6 MHz, 32 K RAM and 48 K Microsoft Extended BASIC ROM. This computer uses a external PAL-RF converter to be able to use a color television for displaying 40 x 25 characters in 16 colors. A real nice qwerty-keyboard with "real" keys and a cartridge slot on top. She Swedish version had a special cartridge for the national Swedish characters. A cassette deck is used for storage like most home computers at this time. There was later an expansion box with hard drive and two 5¼" floppy disks available.

The Spectravideo SV-328 was replacing the SV-318 and later replaced by the MSX SV-728. There was also a cheaper SV-326 which had a membrane keyboard. The computers was manufactured in Hong Kong.
