The '''Tatung Einstein''' has characteristics very near those of the MSX machines (same video modes, same sound chip, sprites, etc.) but is not compatible with this standard. It was built in the UK at Tatung's plant in Telford in Shropshire.

The Einstein runs under Xtal/DOS which is an operating system compatible with CP/M. It was possible to connect an other floppy disk drive and a 80 column card was available.

The Einstein was a very attractive computer but it was too expensive to have great market success.

This computer have some similarities with the Amstrad CPC (but also with MSX).

*It was launched in 1984.

*It is a Z80 computer with 64K RAM (16K VRAM)

*It used a 3" disk Drive.

This computer was used for cross development purpose before PC and AtariST became the norm.
