| The Exelvision EXL 100 is an 8‑bit home computer released in 1984 by the French company Exelvision. It is powered by a Texas Instruments TMS7020 CPU running at approximately 4.9 MHz. The system includes 34 KB of RAM (2 KB for CPU and 32 KB shared with video) and between 4 and 32 KB of ROM. Video is handled by the TMS 3556 video display processor, supporting 320 × 250 pixel graphics in eight colors plus a 40 × 25 character text mode. Sound and voice synthesis are provided by the TMS 5220 chip. The machine boots without built‑in software; users load software—including BASIC—via cartridge. The EXL 100 uses a separate main unit and operates with wireless infrared keyboards (available in rubber or mechanical versions) and wireless joysticks. It offers cartridge, cassette, and optional floppy disk expansion, and also supports infrared mouse and modem accessories. The keyboard layout is French AZERTY. Approximately 9,000 units were used in French schools as part of national education programs. |
