Sistema 700 was a personal professional microcomputer, produced by a Brazilian computer company in early 1980s.[1][2]

General information[]

Based on the Zilog Z80A 8-bit, 4MHz microprocessor, it had 64 KiB RAM configuration and two 5-1/4" floppy disk drives with capacity for up to 320 KiB of storage.[3]

Its operating system was DOS-700, a version adapted by Prologica's software engineering department from the CP/M-80.[4]

It achieved relative commercial success in financial, database and engineering applications. Due to the compatibility with the popular CP/M system, various applications like Fortran ANS, BASIC compiler, COBOL ANSI 74 compiler, Algol, Pascal, PL/I, MUMPS/M, RPG, Faturol C could be used. Other applications like word processors (WordStar), spreadsheets (CalcStar) and databases (DataStar and dBase II) were also compatible. Your applications could be programmed in BASIC, Cobol-80 and Fortran.[3]

Models[]

  • Sistema 700 (1981 - vapourware)

Initial model announced in 1981, but never went into production.[1]

  • Super Sistema 700 (1981)

Final version with graphite-colored cabinet and rounded contours.[1]

Data Storage[]

Data storage was done in audio cassette.[3]

Audio cables were supplied with the computer for connection with a regular tape recorder.[3]

Accessories[]
