MikroMikko

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MikroMikko was a Finnish line of microcomputers released by Nokia Data from 1981 through 1987. They were especially designed for good ergonomy.

The first model in the line, MikroMikko 1, was released on September 29, 1981, which is the name day of Mikko in the Finnish almanac. It was manufactured in a factory in Kilo, Espoo.[1]

In 1991 ICL bought Nokia Data, but MikroMikko remained a trademark of ICL and later Fujitsu.[2] Fujitsu was selling them under the trademark ErgoPro.
