+
+Little information available about this professional computer running CP/M. Help wecome to know more about this system.
+
+It seems that the Welect 80-2 was produced in France at the beginning of the 80s. It's a professional computer running CP/M with two built-in 8'' floppy disk drives. An optional hard disk (5 or 10 mb) could be connected.
+
+Among the few sources that we have found about this computer, we know that some models still used in 1988 ran CP/M 3.1 as their operating system.
+
+The Welect 80-2, one of the few CP/M based french computer, was mainly sold to french administrations and big companies would could afford it as it was quite expensive compared to its foreign competitors.
+
+We know so far that the Welect 80-2 was used by:\
+\- La Rochelle CRTS (fisheries data processing center)\
+\- Vichy Charmeil meteo station\
+\- Douai coal mines administration
+
+The computer was also distributed under the OGIP label.
