On today’s show, we’re covering the very obscure (at least for the US market) Tatung Einstein and what Amstrad products we can find.  The Tatung Einstein was produced by Taiwanese corporation Tatung and designed in England in 1984. It was aimed primarily at small businesses. Amstrad is also both based in the UK and began selling computers in 1984 with the CPC line. They purchased Sinclair in 1986.    http://www.historyofpersonalcomputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/HofPC-eBay-4.mp3 Links mention in this episode:  Retrochallenge Jeff’s Retrochallenge Blog A new chapter/episode of the Stan Veit’s History of Personal Computing audiobook podcast!
