+      Hi,\
+      I ''ve worked in the plant (town :Haubourdin), and the Sil''z was an Apple 2 machine with some enhancements (graphics) in a hard case (aluminium), and with a better power supply, built in video CRT and strong keyboard\
+      It was possible to connect 8" drives (I''ve writted routines for that, in 6502 assembly and Pascal UCSD\

+SIL'Z systems from the same company seem to be an evolution of the [Silex](/museum/leanord-silex/). SIL'Z systems had some success, particularly in french administrations and schools.
+
+According to somone who worked at the plant (Haubourdin city in France) the Sil''z was an Apple 2 machine with some enhancements (graphics) in a hard case (aluminium), and with a better power supply, built in video CRT and strong keyboard. It was possible to connect 8" and 5.25" drives.
+
+The floppy disk unit can store 320 KB for the model 5 and 640 KB for the model 6.
+
+Several devices were developped for this computer : video card (512 x 256), secondary RS232, IEEE488 or battery.
