== Seikosha GP500 Series ==
 
The Seikosha GP500 Series was offered for various homecomputers in 1984-1985. All models support 10" endless paper. The case-design is more or less identical, though different coloured, and badged with different manufacturer & model names.
 
* Seikosha GP500A - Was offered '''Seikosha GP500''' for BBC and ZX Spectrum (centronics port)
* Seikosha GP500M-2 - Was offered as '''Amstrad DMP1''' for CPC (centronics port)
* Seikosha GP500VC - Was offered as '''Commodore MPS-801'' for VIC20 and C64 (commodore serial port)
* Seikosha GP500AT-1 - Was offered as '''Atari 1029''' for Atari XL (dual 13pin port)
 
The main difference is that the PCBs are customized - the VC and AT models have non-centronics connectors. Possibly, the ROMs might be also customized, containing different character sets (?), and most probably different protocols (for the serial-port VC version at least).
