simply Genie) was a series of computers produced by Hong Kong-based
manufacturer EACA during the early 1980s. They were compatible with the
Tandy TRS-80 Model I computers and could be considered a clone although
there were hardware and software differences. Although Video Genie was
the name used in Western Europe, the machines were sold under different
names in other countries. In Australia and New Zealand they were known
as the Dick Smith System 80 MK I (EG3003) and System 80 MK II (EG3008),
and in North America they were sold as the PMC-80 and PMC-81. In South
Africa the Video Genie was sold as the TRZ-80, a name similar to its
rival.
