The Seikosha GP500 Series was offered for various homecomputers, around 1984-1985. All models support 10" endless paper. The case-design is more or less identical, though differently coloured, and badged with different manufacturer & model names.
* Seikosha GP500A - Was offered as '''Seikosha GP500A''' for BBC and ZX Spectrum general purpose (centronics port)* Seikosha GP500AS - Was offered as '''Seikosha GP500AS''' for general purpose (serial rs232 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)
The main difference is that the PCBs are customized - the VC and AT models have non-centronics connectors. The ROMs might be also customized, possibly containing different character sets (?), and most probably different protocols (for the serial-port VC version at least).
Note: The name "Seikosha GP 500M-2" is printed on the PCB, in the internet, it's often referred to as "Seikosha GP 500 CPC".
