Three new business micros are due from Intertec in April.

Known as the Headstart range, they are the VPU 128, 512 or 1000. The 512, for £3,329 has 512K RAM expandable to 1Mb and uses a single disk drive with a 500K 3.5" microdisk. Like the rest of the family, it has a dual processor - a Z80A and an 8086 - with the former running at 4 MHz and the latter at 8.

It runs CP/M80 and MSDOS, has 18 function keys, a numeric pad and RS232 and Centronics type printer ports. The range will be distributed by Professional Microcomputers in Longstanton, Cambridge.
