Technical Specification
The Laser 200 was designed and built by Video Technology (VTech) in Hong Kong and derived from the Tandy TRS-80. Based on a Zilog Z80A CPU driven by a television colour burst crystal (3.5795454 MHz), it offered 16 KB of ROM containing Microsoft BASIC Level II, 8 KB RAM and four-colour graphics at a resolution of 128×64 or 64×32, or 32 columns and 16 lines of eight-colour text.
The BASIC interpreter was similar to that offered in the Video Genie but with many of the advanced BASIC commands disabled.
The Laser 200 used the MC6847 Video Display Generator (VDG) chip for graphics.
