The History of Personal Computing

eBay Episode 4 – Tatung Einstein and Amstrad

Listen Later

On today’s show, we’re covering the very obscure (at least for the US market) Tatung Einstein and what Amstrad products we can find.

  • The Tatung Einstein was produced by Taiwanese corporation Tatung and designed in England in 1984. It was aimed primarily at small businesses.
  • Amstrad is also both based in the UK and began selling computers in 1984 with the CPC line. They purchased Sinclair in 1986.
