da Wikipedia:

Il Sega Master System (comunemente Master System o abbreviato SMS), è una console per videogiochi a 8 bit basata su cartucce e prodotta da SEGA. È la versione internazionale della console giapponese SG-1000 Mark III. La console rese la SEGA il principale competitore della Nintendo nel mercato giapponese e mondiale.

Il Master System venne lanciato in diretta concorrenza del Nintendo Entertainment System. La console non è riuscita a spodestare il competitore ma comunque ha goduto di un buon successo commerciale in Europa che si è protratto in mercati secondari come quello del Brasile.

Commodore VIC 20 – 2nd Generation

Description:

  • Country: USA
  • Most Common: Europe
  • Rarity: Unrare
  • Year: 1980

The VIC-20 was intended to be more economical than the PET computer. It was equipped with only 5 KB of RAM and used the same MOS 6502 CPU as the PET. The VIC-20′s video chip, the MOS Technology VIC, was a general-purpose color video chip designed by Al Charpentier in 1977 and intended for use in inexpensive display terminals and game consoles, but Commodore couldn’t find a market for the chip.
As the Apple II gained momentum with the advent of VisiCalc in 1979, Jack Tramiel wanted a product that would compete in the same segment, to be presented at the January 1980 CES. For this reason Chuck Peddle and Bill Seiler started to design a computer named TOI (The Other Intellect).

The design was basically the same as the VIC-20 design: Black keys and orange function keys (from F1-F8), and it was said that a few computers have the more angular keys of its predecessor. Earlier models even had some differences, such as the 5-pin video out.

Commodore Floppy Drive 1551 (c16/Plus4)

Description:

  • Country: US
  • Most Common: Europe
  • Rarity: Rare
  • Year: 1983

The Commodore 1551 (originally introduced as the SFS 481) was a floppy disk drive for the Commodore Plus/4 home computer. It resembled a charcoal-colored Commodore 1541 and plugged into the cartridge port, providing faster access than the C64/1541 combination.

Commodore reportedly planned an interface to allow use of the 1551 with the C64, but it was never released.
