WoW! That keyboard...\
|
||||
...Just handwiring something like that for a personal project is a tedious nightmare...\
|
||||
...doing it for a mass-produced system...\
|
||||
...I take my hat off to the company that made these. :)

The HomeLab computers family was conceived in the People's Republic of Hungary by the famous **Lukács** brothers.
|
||||
|
||||
József Lukács, the older brother was the creator of the hardware, and the younger, Endre Lukács was the father of software (a great BASIC language).
|
||||
|
||||
The HomeLab machines were cheap, well-working and easy-to-use Basic computers. They were neither clones nor licencied, but original Hungarian home computers.
|
||||
|
||||
The **HomeLab-2** (see the 'More pictures' section) was also called **Aircomp-16**. It was made by a little agro-electronics company called the *Personal Agroelektronikai GT*.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to **Képes Gábor** for all this information and pictures. All of the HomeLab versions could also be homebrew built or assembled by the HCC (Hungarian Computer Club), an association of amateur computer fans.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Brailab** (pictured) was an exciting curiosity. It was a speaking Homelab-4 version especially intended for blind people. It featured a nice retro robot voice and a perfect Hungarian phonetics reproduction. It was a member of the BraiLab series. The text-to-speech system was conceived by András Arató and Teréz Vaspöri.
|
||||
|
||||
It was made by the *Color Ipari Szovetkezet* factory, in Dombóvár, a little Hungarian city. Only 400 machines were made between 1985 and 1987.
|
||||
|
||||
The BraiLab ran with a simple tape recorder and could be connected to either a TV set (VHF) or a monochrome monitor. A blind user could use it only with a tape recorder, hear but not watch the data.
|
||||
|
||||
The BraiLab was followed by the **BraiLab Plus** with floppy and CP/M system then by the **BraiLab PC**, a text-to-speech interface for IBM PCs.
