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 date text David Mutimer (Australia) Wednesday 11th May 2016 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 date text MAster BAiter Thursday 21st April 2016 This is the most potent computer I''ve ever seen author date text Ibrahim M (UK) Sunday 24th May 2015 You do NOT want a radionics compoter latest modal author date text dr syed nizam ali shah (MOHALLA SYEDAN P$O AND VILLAGE MANSAR ATTOCK PAKISTAN) Saturday 18th January 2014 I want radionics compoter latest modal plz help me /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 1302 url date https://web.archive.org/web/20230604050139/http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=1302 2023-06-04

This is an extremly rare TRS-80 Model 1 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)
