We know very little about the P5000 series of Philips word processing systems.
The pictured model is a P5004, second generation from P5002 series. This huge system (at least 50 kg) was conceived by D. K. Hammer at system software development department of Philips in Vienna, but manufactured in Canada. It was commonly connected to a Qume daysywheel printer and was used not only for word processing, but also as billing, accounting or specialized system for technical or scientific documents production.
First P5000s did not boot from a floppy but from a Magnetic card reader. The 慡chugart?8?drives came later. Each 300 KB 8" floppy disc could store up to 128 A4 size pages.
There was also a P5040 third generation which looked like a modern pc. This was the last of the dedicated Philips word processors.
