The Imagination Machine is a superbly designed, expandable, user-programmable computer system.The Imagination Machine has 9K RAM and 14K BASIC-IN-ROM. A full 53 key professional typewriter-style keyboard. A high-resolution picture on your TV set, in eight colors. Fast loading (1500+ baud rate) built-in dual-track cassette deck, for APF's digitally recorded tape programs. Built-in sound synthesizer. And, even a built-in RF Modulator.All that, plus user-programmability.We know sophisticated users aren't going to be satisfied forever using preprogrammed software. (Even though we offer a larger library of educational, entertainment, home and business management programs.) So, we made the Imagination Machine user-programmable, in BASIC and MC6800 machine language. To simplify matters, we've just developed the first and only BASIC TUTOR course on cassette. With it, you can learn to program the Imagination Machine in BASIC, with hands-on training, right at the computer. Some exceptional features.The Imagination Machine has several unique features that can help you use your time at the computer more effectively.For example, it stores programs and data on the same cassette tape. (With other computers, you have to read programs from one tape into the computer, remove the tape, put in another tape and store your data on the new tape.)Another special feature is the Imagination Machine's keyword system, which simplifies BASIC programming. The machine has 24 different statements printed at the top of the keyboard. You can enter these 24 into your program without retyping them every time you use them. Instead of typing out "PRINT," for example, you just press two keys and the word appears on the screen. The system helps prevent typing errors and can help speed up entering programs. A third features is Timed Response Monitoring, which automatically adjusts the computer's speed and pace to your own. It makes, "Tutoring programs," for instance, easier and more interesting to follow. And then there are the Imagination Machine's three graphics modes: 1. Alpha Numerics, with mixed low resolution graphics in as many as eight colors. 2. High Resolution --- in up to eight colors --- 128 x 192 display. 3. High Resolution Graphics --- up to four colors --- 256 x 192 display.And expandability.A personal computer that can't grow with your ever growing requirements soon becomes obsolete. So, we designed the Imagination Machine to be expandable. By adding APF's optional "Expansion Box" and interface cartridges, you can hook up any compatible floppy disk drive or printer, or an additional 8K RAM memory cartridge.
