The Einstein was released in the United Kingdom in the summer of 1984, and 5,000 were exported to Taipei later that year. A Tatung monitor (monochrome or colour) and dot matrix printer were also available as options, plus external disc drives and an 80 column display card. It was also capable of running ZX Spectrum software with the "Speculator" addon.
More expensive than most of its rivals, the Einstein was popular with contemporary programmers but was commercially unsuccessful.[1]
A later, revised version, called the Tatung Einstein 256 suffered a similar fate.
