+
+After having launched a home computer, the [Einstein](/museum/tatung-einstein-tc-01/), Tatung tried to tackle the small business market with this PC-2000 system. Ease of use, attractive price and expandability were their main desing criteria.
+
+The PC-2000 was actually a standard CP/M based machine. However, a large range of powerful options could be added whitch impressively increased system capabilities:\
+• The serial interface board contained 14 RS232 serial ports and the PC-2000 could add up to 2 complete boards.\
+• The TTL I/O board had 64 Input/Output lines and again the PC-2000 could take 2 complete boards.\
+• The virtual disk board had a capacity of 256 KB and the PC-2000 could take up to 8 of them.\
+• On the hard-disk card, up to 4 set of 5.25" or 8" drives were possible.\
+• Furthermore, Internal connectors allowed a colour graphic board and a dual 8" floppy disc controller to be connected.
+
+Despite these unusual abilities and a good manufacturing quality, the PC-2000 was a real flop and very few of them were sold.
