Changes
=Range and products=
The Thomson 8bit computers are 6809E CPU based (1mhz)
They were released in a lot of models from 1983 to 1989.
While MO and TO models are uncompatible in software, most of the peripherals and Hardware were compatible.
2nd generation was almost fully retro-compatible with 1st generation but specific 2nd generation softwares couldn't run on 1st generation computers.
Those compatibilities issues were fatal to the range alongside the success of the Amstrad CPC in France.
