The Thomson MO5 is a home computer introduced in France in 1984[1] to compete against systems such as the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. At the same time, Thomson also released the up-market Thomson TO-7/70 machine. The MO5 was not sold in vast quantities outside France and was largely discontinued in favour of the improved Thomson MO6 in 1986.[2] MO5s were also used as educational tools in French schools for a period.
The Thomson MO5 runs on a Motorola 6809E processor clocked at 1 MHz. It originally featured 48kB of RAM, a 40×25 text display, and built-in Microsoft BASIC.
Over 200 pieces of software are known to exist for the MO5.
