The CP 400 COLOR was launched in 1984 by Prológica, a Brazilian company which made clone versions of various computers, under the general designation of "CP" (for "Computador Pessoal" in Portuguese, "Personal Computer" in English). [1] [2] [3] [4]
This machine was TRS-80 Color Computer 2 clone, but had a different case than the original machine. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] The computer was 100% compatible with the original TRS-80 Color Computer 2, and was designed to work with the PAL-M TV standard used in Brazil.
The CP 400 COLOR was available with both 16 or 64 KB of RAM, and had a 55 key chiclet keyboard. At the back there were ports for TV out, RGB video monitor, cassette recorder, serial port, power supply and joysticks. [9] At the front there was a cartridge slot. [9]
The CP 400 COLOR II, introduced in 1986, offered an internal power supply, better keyboard (with four extra keys: CTRL
