These photos were sent by Pablo Alvarez Doval (Thank you!). This computer belongs to his uncle, unfortunately, he has no information about it. He says: "It's a huge computer, built in a metallic desk, with a printer, two 8" floppy drives, 12" green-screen monitor (I am not sure, but I do believe it is 12"), and a keyboard, everything you needed built in. It even had a chair to compliment it! Obviously, it is some kind of office computer".
It has indeed a 12" screen (white characters 25 x 80) en two 8" floppy drives 1,2 MB. A harddisk was optional. The programming language was Phocal. (Philips Office Computer Assembly Language).
The printer was a 9 pins dot matrix, 100 cps. The P330 was the last product of the Philips Office computers series. Then Philips came with the mircro computers and later the IBM compatibele PC's.
In 1992 the Philips computer line was ended.
