 This computer also has a 3" disk drive and 180 KB per side, and 256 KB of expandable memory. It also came with a matrix printer with its own interface, since the computer does not include standard serial or parallel ports.

 In Spain, the traditional scarcity of peripherals makes the use of other printers very expensive, so as the PC market becomes cheaper, they are declining. They stop being seen in the offices with the replacement of the 9 needles by the ink jet. For a time, a PCW->PC file conversion market was generated.
+===== Packing =====
+The outer packaging is a cardboard box, inside which is protected by white cork against possible knocks, the green phosphor monitor with a 3" 180Kb unit incorporated, a matrix printer, a keyboard, the manuals (volume 1 Losocoscript, CP/M and Logo) and (Volume 2 Mallard Basic), two 3" disks containing the Locoscript word processor, CP/M, Utilities and Dr.Logo. Some teams gave away some program for the purchase of it, in this case, as can be seen in the images, the promotion was a pack made up of the Amsfile, supercalc2 and accounting programs.
