Gorenje Dialog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dialog was a microcomputer system developed by Gorenje in 1980s. It was based on the 8-bit 4 MHz Zilog Z-80A microprocessor. Primary operating system was FEDOS (CP/M 2.2 compatible), developed by Computer Structures and Systems Laboratory (Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana) and Gorenje.
There were 3 variants of the Dialog microcomputer system: home, laboratory and personal (PC) (in Slovene: hišni, laboratorijski, osebni). It should be noted that all three types were essentially the same except minor changes.
Three types of external memory can be connected with Dialog: cassette recorder, floppy drive (5,25" and 8") and hard drive. Home variant of Dialog used resident FEBASIC (a variant of BASIC).
