Description
The 83 had the same features as the 85, excluding the internal printer and tape drive. The 83 was designed to be a lower-cost, modular version of the 85, whereby users would choose separately the type of printer and mass storage device they wanted to drive. This model was only in production for a year. It was discontinued after the introduction of the 86, which offered a better modular solution in the 80 Series range.
