Talent/Telematica was an electronic company of Argentina that manufactured three MSX models:

\- **DPC-200** - MSX1\
\- **DPC-300** - MSX2 with numeric keypad\
\- **TPC-310** - MSX2

All Talent models was based on [Daewoo/Yeno](/museum/yeno-dpc-64/) MSX models. The DPC-200 and the TPC-310 used the same case, the DPC300 looked like the daewoo CPC300/IQ2000 (black case).

The TPC-310 featured a "toolbox" in ROM (user could access it pressing CTRL-Shift keys) including a calculator, a calendar, a "control panel" and a puzzle game (the same game as the first macs where numbers from 1 to 15 had to be ordered). The case held the motherboard and the PSU. the Motherboard had a housing for a 9V battery, probably for the real time clock.
