    text: This is the rear of the monitor which houses the whole computer and disk-drives, just like with the Apple Macintosh. There is an ON/OFF switch, two device connectors and a Printer interface.

    text: I used to work for Sony as a dealer rep for the Series 35 and Model 10 in Los Angeles. They were GREAT products for their time. I miss them. The word processing programs of today do not hold a candle to the ease of use those word processors had.

    text: I was trained by Sony Canada on these beasts. The floppies were a major problem and the screens would constantly lose focus. Our dealership $ped them after three months as they were costing a fortune to maintain.

    text: I worked for a Sony Business dealer and repaired these as well as the larger Model 35''s and printers, which were actually NEC printers. They used a modified CPM language. The displays were beautiful black type on a white background. Looked like a sheet of paper. The main problems I remember were the floppy drives constantly broke.

    text: I actually have one of these as well. Can't remember for the life of me what scrapheap I obtained it from though. No keyboard or disk for it though so I've never actually used it. It does boot to the 'insert disc' screen though so it works as far as I'm aware. Mine has a colour screen though, so I'm not sure if it's a slightly different model or not. I was actually thinking about pulling this thing apart and putting a mini-itx board into it at some point as a little project to make a nice small computer for the kitchen. :)

    text: I have two of these Sony Series 35 Model 10 in my garage. One, without a keyboard and the other with. I have no wordprocessor disk. I have kept them around because they look like Macintoshes.

This computer is a Wordprocessor system which looks like an [Apple Macintosh](/museum/apple-macintosh/) (but is not a Macintosh compatible).

It can work with CP/M. Though it was designed as a word processing computer, it has no mouse (go figure !).

It has a graphical user interface and has special keys to use with the word processor (cut/paste, move line/word etc.).
