AMAZINGLY VERSATILE
TAILOR THE SYSTEM TO YOUR NEEDS
A choice of five disk drive units and two printers allows you to choose (and pay for) only the capabilities you
need. And, you don't need to worry about outgrowing your system! The 820-11 has been carefully designed
to allow you to increase its capabilites by adding additional software, disk storage and internal memory. An
expansion slot is also provided in the processor for future customization.
CAPABILITY TO CREATE YOUR OWN SOFTWARE
In addition to the extensive library of CP/M programs, the 820-11 has several programming languages
available. The variety of available languages allows you to choose the most efficient way to write your own
software.
Some of the most common programs written by business people are forms fill-in and customized reports.
