BASIC
BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages designed for ease of use.
Bus (computing)
In computer architecture, a bus (historically also called data highway or databus) is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers.
See Telmac TMC-600 and Bus (computing)
Cassette tape
The Compact Cassette, also commonly called a cassette tape, audio cassette, or simply tape or cassette, is an analog magnetic tape recording format for audio recording and playback.
See Telmac TMC-600 and Cassette tape
Character (symbol)
A character is a semiotic sign, symbol, grapheme, or glyph typically a letter, a numerical digit, an ideogram, a hieroglyph, a punctuation mark or another typographic mark.
See Telmac TMC-600 and Character (symbol)
Composite video
Composite video is an baseband analog video format that typically carries a 415, 525 or 625 line interlaced black and white or color signal, on a single channel, unlike the higher-quality S-Video (two channels) and the even higher-quality component video (three or more channels).

DIN connector
The DIN connector is an electrical connector that was standardized by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German Institute for Standards, in the mid 1950s, initially with 3 pins for mono, but when stereo connections and gear appeared in late 1950s (1959 or so), versions with 5 pins or more were launched.

Display resolution
The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor, or other display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed.
See Telmac TMC-600 and Display resolution
Finland
Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe.

Graphics
Graphics are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone, to inform, illustrate, or entertain.

Home computer
Home computers were a class of microcomputers that entered the market in 1977 and became common during the 1980s.

IEEE 1284
IEEE 1284, also known as the Centronics port, is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices.

Kilobyte
The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.
See Telmac TMC-600 and Kilobyte
Microcomputer
A microcomputer is a small, relatively inexpensive computer having a central processing unit (CPU) made out of a microprocessor.
See Telmac TMC-600 and Microcomputer
Pixel
In digital imaging, a pixel (abbreviated px), pel, or picture element is the smallest addressable element in a raster image, or the smallest addressable element in a dot matrix display device.
Random-access memory
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code.

RCA
The RCA Corporation was a major American electronics company, which was founded in 1919 as the Radio Corporation of America.
RCA 1802
The COSMAC (Complementary Symmetry Monolithic Array Computer) is an 8-bit microprocessor family introduced by RCA.
See Telmac TMC-600 and RCA 1802
RF modulator
An RF modulator (radio frequency modulator) is an electronic device used to convert signals from devices such as media players, VCRs and game consoles to a format that can be handled by a device designed to receive a modulated RF input, such as a radio or television receiver.
See Telmac TMC-600 and RF modulator
Telmac 1800
The Telmac 1800 was an early microcomputer delivered in kit form. Telmac TMC-600 and Telmac 1800 are 8-bit computers, early microcomputers and microcomputer stubs.
