The Thomson MO6 was a Motorola 6809E-based computer introduced in France in 1986.[2][3] It was intended as the successor to the Thomson MO5[4] and featured 128 KB of RAM, a 40 × 25 text display, and a new built-in Microsoft BASIC interpreter (BASIC 128[5]). It retained compatibility with its predecessor, while incorporating the same technology as the TO8.[6]
Graphic abilities were expanded compared to the MO5, by the use of the Thomson EF9369 graphics chip. The 16 colour palette could be defined from a total of 4096[5] colours and extra video modes were available:[5]
- 160 × 200 × 5 colours with 3 transparency levels
- 160 × 200 × 16 colours
- 320 × 200 × 2 colours (allows shifting between two screen pages)
- 320 × 200 × 3 colours and one transparency level
- 320 × 200 × 4 colours
- 320 × 200 × 16 colours (2 colours per 8 × 1 pixels restraint)
- 640 × 200 × 2 colours
In Italy it was sold by Olivetti with minor aesthetic changes, and named Olivetti Prodest PC128. Twenty-one games were released for the MO6.[7][8] The machine was available until January 1989.
