Entry for the 2016 8-bit BASIC 10-liner competition.  25th March 2016
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name         : Dave Maunder
Email        : dave.maunder@gmail.com
Platform     : VZ-200 (Laser 210) and VZ-300 (Laser 310)
Manufacturer : Video Technology



The VZ200 / VZ300 / Laser 210 / Laser 310 computers were produced by the company Video  Technology,
currently more commonly known as V-Tech in down town Hong Kong between 1983 through to around 1989.
These computers have a Z80A  8-bit  computer  running a  modified TRS-80  level 2 BASIC in 16k ROM. 
2k Video RAM, with a total  of 8k  RAM (VZ200)  and  16k RAM (VZ300). Further expansion packs were
available to increase the user BASIC RAM to 24k (VZ200) and 32k (VZ300).  There was even a 64k RAM
expansion pack available for  those  people  with  assembly  skills  wanting to push the boundary.


These computers were also known as :
   VZ200 and VZ300 (Australia / New Zealand / USA)
   Texet TX-8000a (UK)
   Sanyo Laser210 and Laser310 (Germany)
   Salorian Fellow (Netherlands / Greenland / Denmark)

There was also support for 600 baud cassette player, twin 80k floppy disk drives, joysticks, 
light pen, voice synth, music synth, plotter and various Seikosha and Epson printers.

If anyone out there reading this is interested in the VZ or Laser, we still exist on a Yahoogroups mailing list.

A number of emualtors for the VZ/Laser have been written over the past 17 years. 
Emulator preference for these submitted games is the Windows GUI "VZEM" by Guy Thomson.
