An updated version of this computer called the model 16/8 ran dual CPUs, an 8-bit Z80 and 16-bit Intel 8086, which could be booted jointly or separately. The operating system was 8-bit CP/M 80 and 16-bit CP/M 86, and it was supplied with the Word Perfect word processor and dBase II database management system. It had double 8" floppy disk drives, a 12" monochrome monitor and a daisywheel printer. Later in 1984 double 5.25 floppy disk drives, a portrait-size blue monitor, and a laser printer were offered. The Model 16/8 is also called a Xerox 823

Famous quotes containing the word model:
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
