PCC 2000 is a professional computer released in 1978. It was designed in 1978 by Pertec, the company which merged with MITS by the end of 1976.
|
|
|
|
The PCC is conceived as a monobloc machine, where the display and two 8" floppy disk drives are built-in the main case. The mechanical keyboard offers separated numeric and editing keypads.
|
|
|
|
The system is powered by an Intel 8085 microprocessor and offers 64 KB RAM. The whole thing was apparently delivered with an extended Basic language, which has DOS commands built-in to control the disk drives.
|
|
|
|
Options advertised were:\
|
|
\- CP/M, Cobol, Fortran, Basic compiler languages\
|
|
\- 10 MB hard disk\
|
|
\- wordprocessor software\
|
|
\- multi-terminals\
|
|
\- multi-tasking
|
|
|
|
The PCC 2000 was originaly called the MITS 300/15 and renamed to reflect the Pertec brand. This machine replaced the MITS Altair S-100 computers.
|
|
|
|
The PCC 2000 was also marketed by Ordisor in France, as the [Ordisor PCC 2000](/museum/ordisor-pcc-2000/).
