The C-10 is Cromemco's only attempt to step in the market of personal and family oriented computers.

The goal was to compete with Apple II's and IBM PC's in small businesses as they started getting equipped with computer systems.

This standard CP/M based system featured a 12'' screen housing a single motherboard, without extension capabilities (no S-100 bus), a keyboard and floppy drive.

The CDOS operating system (a CP/M variant) came with several business software tools (spreadsheet, word processor, BASIC language).
