ABC 800
The Luxor ABC 800 series were office-versions of the ABC 80 home computer. All the 800s featured an enhanced BASIC interpreter and more memory, 32 KB RAM was standard. They could also be extended with "high" resolution graphics (240x240 pixels). The ABC 800 came in a monochrome version with an 80 character wide screen, and a color version with 40 characters. The later ABC 806 had more memory and improved graphics, and the ABC 802 was compact version with the main board integrated with the small screen (where the ABC 80 and 800 has the main board integrated with the keyboard and a separate screen). It has no high-resolution graphics.
"Who needs IBM-compatibility?", asked Luxor's adverts. Which most computer buyers eventually considered a requirement. A certain compability could be achieved between the ABC-world and the PC-world with the help of a program called 'W ABC'.
The ABC 800 computer was also sold by Facit by the name Facit DTC.
