+"L'attaché" was the first Bull attempt to produce a portable PC-compatible computer. It was not made in France by Bull, but in Japan.
+
+This computer was mainly sold to french public services, as they were obliged at the time to buy french-made computers. But "L'attaché" was not very successful in the private sector when it was launched, because there were many competing that were technically more advanced and cheaper.
+
+The system hardware was made of two separate modules. A motherboard/display module, and a backup module that could be fitted with one or two 3.5" 720 KB floppy disc drives or a 20 MB hard disk.
