Prológica Indústria e Comércio de Mircrocomputadores, commonly shortened to Prológica, was an influential Brazilian microcomputer company that reached its peak in the mid-1980s, when it ranked third among national companies in the sector.[1]

History[]

Founded in 1976, the company initially commercialized machines for accounting use, namely the MCA-100 and Alpha Disk. The first models had an Intel 8080 processor, and in the early months the company even managed to get a partnership with Olivetti.[2] The company later specialized in producing products similar to the American TRS-80 micros, under the general name of CP (Computador Pessoal). One of its biggest successes in the professional field was the CP-500 microcomputer, compatible with the TRS-80 Model III.[1][2]
