Q1/LM (Released 11. december 1972)
A 8008 CPU based, single line 89 character display with printer in

2. generation:
Q1/LMC (Released april 1974 as a preproduction unit for Israely Air

A 8080 CPU based, 8 line [?] 37 character/line display, printer in

3. generation
Q1/Lite (Released in 1976)
Z80 Based, 12 line 40 Character display, optional external printer, 1-4
double density floppy disks ,housed in desk, 16K-48K RAM
Q1/Microlite
Z80 based, 12 line 40 character display, 1 or 2 double density
Mini-floppies, optional internal 80 column dot matrix printer. The

floppy disks/ and or 1 or 2 27Mbyte Hard disk drives or a non-multiplexor
desk with 1-4 double density floppies or 1 or 2 27Mbyte Hard disk drives
[limited by EPROM space to either one].
......any more?
