I still have them... and my original Komtek still works too! I really loved that quirky machine. Sightly Improved with extra cooling and expanded keyboard etc. - author: David Mutimer (Australia) date: Wednesday 11th May 2016 text: |- Just a heads up but, Komtek''s were not made in Germany as most believe, they were made by Komtek Technology in Hong Kong. They ceased trading in early 1983. I ran the workshop for a company in Australia that used to import them direct from the manufacturer. I have two Komtek Computers, one in the off white and another in a silver case. I expect the radionic is not a clone but of the Komtek but a rebadged si8lver case Komtek. - author: MAster BAiter date: Thursday 21st April 2016 text: This is the most potent computer I''ve ever seen - author: Ibrahim M (UK) date: Sunday 24th May 2015 text: You do NOT want a radionics compoter latest modal - author: dr syed nizam ali shah (MOHALLA SYEDAN P$O AND VILLAGE MANSAR ATTOCK PAKISTAN) date: Saturday 18th January 2014 text: I want radionics compoter latest modal plz help me related: - /museum/sysdata-eletronica-jr - /museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-12 - /museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-16 - /museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-4 - /museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-4p - /museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-i - /museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-ii - /museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-iii oc_id: 1302 source: url: https://web.archive.org/web/20230604050139/http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=1302 date: '2023-06-04' --- This is an extremly rare [TRS-80 Model 1](/museum/tandy-radio-shack-trs-80-model-i/) clone, re-using the case of an other clone: The Komtek 1 (from Hong-Kong). It's equiped with a Level II basic and powered by a Zilog Z80 cpu. According to the labels found underneath the case, the computer could be delivered with different options:\ \- 16 KB RAM\ \- 32 KB RAM\ \- 48 KB RAM\ \- Color board (!)\ \- Dual Language\ \- Control functions\ \- Single density disk controller\ \- Double density disk controller\ \- BASIC printer (surely BASIC instructions to access the printer) --- **Contributors :** Incog
