The vapourware Tomy expansions:
|
|
|
|
\- The 5"1/4 diskdrive\
|
|
\- The printer\
|
|
\- The big box under the tutor might be the the RAM expansion (+48k)\
|
|
\- The little black box before the diskdrive might be the speech synthesizer...
|
|
|
|
These devices seem to have never been released...

Well I don't know much things about this one. It seems that the only thing that differs from the [Tomy Tutor](/museum/tomy-tutor-pyuuta/) is the keyboard. Now there is a real keyboard, all white. So the funky pink space bar has disapeared, booo :o(
|
|
|
|
It seems too that this model was only sold in Japan for a short time in 1984, one year after the release of its young brother the Pyutta "1".
|
|
|
|
If you want to know more about this rare machine, please read the description of the [Pyuuta/Tomy Tutor](/museum/tomy-tutor-pyuuta/).
