Description

1983- The Model 4P was the transportable version of the Model 4. Apart from the case and display sizes, technical features were almost identical to the Model 4's. The dual half-sized floppy drives were still single-sided versions but the keyboard, which slided underneath the computer, was far better than the one of the desktop version. The external floppy drive connector was removed, as well as the Model 3 ROM, but a ROM image could be loaded from diskette to run Model 3 programs. An optional 300-baud modem could be also installed into the machine. Very late models had double-sided TEAC drives.
