Tangerine Microtan By Lee Davison.

I didn't have one of these when they were current, I'd already gone with the Compukit UK101 but I always wanted the 'Space Invasion' program that appeared in ETI. I wonder how many Microtan 65s were sold by that program? I do remember seeing a stall at the Hobby Electronics show in London one year selling the Microtan with the Space Invasion ROM and a specially made sound board and control pannel for £129.

Bright orange documentation, nice, a lot of disks but no drive, the funky black and orange rack system and the original hex keypad. Tangerine cards are Microtan 65, TANEX, TANRAM, DISK/GPIB and hires graphics card. Non Tangerine cards are 'Ralph Allen' 6809 CPU, 80 column video, 32KB ROM/RAM and 14KB RAM card.

First thing to do is get the Microtan 65 card running and make a 'Space Invasion' ROM for it.
