Thomson computers

In the 1980s the French Thomson company produced a range of 8-bit computers based on the 6809E CPU.

[1] They were released in several variations (mostly concerning the keyboard or color of the casing) covering the MO and TO series[2] from late 1982 to 1989.

These machines were common in France due to the 1980s governmental educational program Computing for All (Informatique pour Tous).

[6] Export attempts to Germany, Italy, Algeria, USSR, India, Argentina and Spain were unsuccessful.

[16][17] Most titles were released between 1984 and 1987 and by French companies such as Infogrames, Loriciel, FIL or Coktel Vision.
