图为：1982年松下（Panasonic）出品的HHC
1982年松下（Panasonic）出品的HHC，设计上精致很多，指标和上一个AIM65相差无几，左面的热敏打印机是选配件，最多可同时显示26*1个字符，不过外形嘛，怎么看都还是像个计算器（其实它是一部电脑）。
The system was mainly conceived to run custom software developed by third companies. For this reason, it didn't included powerful built-in software or languages but featured an universal expansion port able to manage several peripherals simultaneously, and three ROM chip compartments. Examples of available software are: Portawriter, Telecomputing 1-2-3, File Exchange, Portacalc, Portaflex (store management), Portabudget, Portabroker, Porta Bid, Portastock, Portalog, Portasales, Portaservice, Portaaudit, etc.
The system featured SNAP, an interpreted programming language, close to Forth and not really easy to learn. Hopefully, a light version of the Microsoft BASIC interpreter ROM could be added.
The picture shows a system with a Printer/Cassette interface attached. User had to buy it to save programs files on tape! The printer used a small roll of thermal paper of 75 mm wide. It printed 16 chars. per line at a speed of 24 chars./second.
Graphic possibilities were available as an option, as well as a TV video interafce which enabled the HHC to be connected to a TV through a scart connector. The HHC could then display 32 x 16 characters in text mode (character matrix 5 x 7), or 128 x 64 with 8 colors in semi-graphic mode or 128 x 128 with 4 colors in graphic mode.

Three Panasonics were released:
RL-H1000 = 2K RAM (expandable to 4K)
RL-H1400 = 4K RAM
RL-H1800 = 8K RAM
Parent company Matsushita actually created the system, and also sold a similar product, the HK-2600TE, under the Quasar name, as seen below.
The systems are shown with the printer/cassette adapter (Panasonic RL-P1004A, Quasar PC913VE) attached. This is a 40 character/line thermal printer, as well as a cassette interface to save and load files and programs.
The HHC has the SNAP interpreter built-in (SNAP is an early, interpreted text-processing language), and the Microsoft BASIC ROM can be installed if desired. Many of these systems were sold with a built-in custom insurance calculation application for insurance salesmen and claim adjusters to use on the road. These applications, similar to the BASIC ROM, were burned into from one to three ROMs which were installed into a compartment on the back of the system.
Although heavy at 2.3 pound (1040 grams) with the printer attached, the HHC is still portable and very useful.
 Example of the printer printout, actual size is 3 inches wide. |
 Printout magnified about 10X. |
Here's an excerpt from the manual:
Introduction
Your Panasonic HHC was designed to perform some spectacular tasks for you without your having to become a computer expert. A self-instructing multiple-choice menu system gives quick and easy access to all programs. A self-defining system of function keys helps you to adapt the HHC to your individual needs and routines. And a self-assignable keyboard allows you to master sophisticated programs easily and rapidly. Moreover, the HHC is the first portable unit designed with a complete "bus". This gives virtually unlimited expandability and interchangeability of peripheral devices.
Capsules can also contain data for use by other programs - voice synthesizing, for example. And some peripherals contain their own capsules - e.g. the Acoustic Modem and the RS-232C. Instructions are in the manuals for the individual peripherals and HHC capsules. A continuing supply of new programs will be offered as they are developed. |
