text: This is a french advert for the ISTC 5500 published in january 1981. Its is exactly the same advert used for the model 5000, apart some modification in the description (disk drive capacity). Even the picture is still the same, with a "5" added with a pen, by hand !!!

Just reading the Advertisements from this funny thing and comparing with your datasheets:
|
||||
|
||||
In Octobre 1979 this machine did cost 28.700F, not the 36.000F you have in the Technical Information
|
||||
|
||||
(The advertisement from Jan 1980 gives reference to the price from Octobre 1979)
|
||||
|
||||
The Disk drives in the 5000 model are described as 300Kbyte disk drives, the one in the 5500 model as 2MBytes Disk drives, also containing a 20 Mbyte hdd
|
||||
|
||||
so actually it had not only better disk drives, but also a harddisc
|
||||
|
||||
Sadly there is no other information to gather from them, and i personally was 3 years old when they came out - so i cannot say much about them from my own experience, just translated the ads
