Description: The Aquarius Home Computer was designed by Radofin Electronics and released in June 1983. Based on the Zilog Z80 processor, the PC was self-contained in an oversized keyboard with 4 KB of RAM, and a subset of BASIC in ROM. It connected to a TV set for AV output, and used a cassette tape recorder for secondary data storage. A limited number of peripherals, such as a 40-column printer, a 4-color plotter, and a 300-baud modem, were released. Although less expensive than the TI-99/4A and VIC-20 computers it competed against, the Aquarius was less attractive due to its weak graphics and limited memory. The Aquarius was discontinued just a few months after it was launched giving it one of the shortest lifespans of any personal computer.
Description: Released in 1981, the VIC-20 was a family version of the PET series (using the same microprocessor and Basic language) and was the first computer to sell more than one million units. International Computer Magazine considered it a compact, user-friendly home computer suitable for inexperienced users, and they awarded it "Computer of the Year." Despite having only 5 KB RAM, it spawned thousands of software programs and games, available on cassette and cartridge. '80s computing magazines publishing cheap programs for users to type in. Originally dubbed the MicroPET in 1980, it later became known as the VIC-20, with VIC referencing the VIC-I (Video Interface Chip) chip used for graphics and sound.
Description: "Mikroelektronik im Sozialismus, Für das Wohl des Volkes" or "Microelectronics in Socialism For The Welfare of the People" This design comes from an East German (GDR) poster depicting the face of Karl Marx onto a circuit board celebrating the use of modern microelectronics in building socialism. I have completely redrawn, recolored, and refinished this design in order to preserve this important and fascinating piece of East German and technological history.
