POWER, PRICE, FLEXIBILITY AND
COMPATIBILITY IN A 16-BIT KIT.
THE AMAZING 1616.
At last a kit computer that sports similar features, specifications and classical design architecture to current PCs.
The 1616 offers the latest microprocessor, loads of onboard memory, expansion slots for your favourite add-ons and more!
As well as software with the power to pull all these features together and make the 1616 function as a useful, high performance personal computer priced to suit any budget.
Built up in easy stages, the 1616 offers a unique insight into the workings of 16 bit computers. Each stage can be tested by diagnostic functions, to ensure correct construction. In its complete form, the 1616 is comparable with today’s commercial PC’s, or, in partial form, it is perfect for research adaptations.
Just imagine; a 68000 CPU, high resolution colour graphics, stereo sound, memory and software with an abundance of I/O and unlimited expansion capabilities.
The 1616 is available as a Basic Kit for $449 with the Board, Chips and Components. The Keyboard is $139 and the Power Supply Unit is only $69. Applix can arrange discounts for bulk purchases as well as all necessary tax exemptions for educational and business customers.
Applix are conducting Construction Workshops for purchasers of the 1616. All areas of constructional techniques, componentry handling and final detailing will be covered in this special one day workshop at a very reasonable cost.
If properly constructed the 1616 will function perfectly, however, if you do encounter problems, Applix will, for a flat fee, guarantee to correct them.
