Hello, I own a Panasonic FH-2000 but can hardly use it as it only contains Greek insurance applications :( Does anyone have a BASIC ROM (or image I could burn in an EPROM) to sell or share ?\
|
|
Thanks in advance, Philippe

The FH-2000 was the successor of the Panasonic [HHC](/museum/panasonic-hhc/). Like its predecessor, it was a portable machine intended to run professional custom applications.
|
|
|
|
The computer was solidly built, featuring an IBM/PC-like keyboard and an 8-line LCD display located into the cover.
|
|
|
|
The basic software was comprised of an 8086 BIOS and a BASIC interpreter close to the Microsoft/GW-Basic, stored in one of the four ROM sockets. These sockets provided up to 512 KB of memory area for pre-programed applications.
|
|
|
|
The FH-2000 could be connected to a thermal printer interface which also provided 8 extra ROM sockets and a higher capacity battery.
|
|
|
|
This computer was mainly sold in Europe under Panasonic HC-2000 or Nixdorf [PC-05](/museum/nixdorf-pc-05/) names.
