One of the first 6502 kit based machines. The company was run out of offices in Ely, UK. The Tangerine had a 3U form factor (or was it 1U?), not much memory, a video character generator and a simple latch for entering hex data from a keypad. The majority of the chips were not socketed which led to all sorts of hardware debugging issues. The manual came with a 1K listing of Conway's Life. An optional expansion board could be built with UART, for keyboard, more memory and BASIC ROMs.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Tangerine Computer Systems."
