It has a Intel 8088 running at 4.77 MHz and 256 KB RAM on-board (expandable to 640 KB). <a href="/facts/RS232/NCpvGuyq">RS232</a> serial and <a href="/facts/IEEE_1284/Dz42InxA">Centronics</a> parallel printer ports are on the motherboard rather than on separate cards thereby making more slots available. It has one 5.25-inch floppy drive and no hard disk (can be installed). The PC 5 was released with <a href="/facts/MS-DOS/fVrrz1uN">MS-DOS 2.11</a> and <a href="/facts/GW_Basic/3XcQtD2e">GW Basic</a> 3.2. The PC 5 had 5× 8-bit PC BUS Slots. It has two motherboards. One contains the CPU, RAM and ROM v. 2.01, an <a href="/facts/Floating-point_unit/XWTW2AbF">NPU</a> socket and some <a href="/facts/VLSI/l1Wgqr27">VLSI</a> chips. The second mainboard is connected by gold pin connectors, it is an "I/O board" containing serial and parallel port, <a href="/facts/ISA_slot/5Rk4bjqB">ISA slots</a> and all I/O chips. Some tracks from ISA slots are factory cut by drilling. The early PC5 has no <a href="/facts/Real-time_clock/pYeXraUW">RTC</a>, <a href="/facts/Hard_disk_drive/kekLSGSE">HDD</a> controller or reset switch, in front it has a <a href="/facts/DIN_connector/RwdLDTBC">DIN keyboard connector</a>.</li></ul> <p>Commodore PC 10 </p> <ul><li>The Commodore PC 10 is a same as a PC 5, but with added color ATI video card and two 5.25-inch floppy drives.</li></ul> <p>Commodore PC 10-1 </p> <ul><li>a 512 KB RAM and single <a href="/facts/Floppy_drive/rShxfuxa">floppy drive</a> version.

It had a Intel 80286 that runs at either 6 or 10 MHz choosable by the user. Standard RAM was 1 MB and the video card was the same as in the PC 10 and 20. It had one 1.2 MB HD 5.25-inch drive and a 20 MB hard drive. The cabinet had a key lock switch added Notes: The "PC AT" is a "PC 40" with a "AT" added to the name.</li></ul> <p>Commodore PC AT </p> <ul><li>The "PC AT" is a "PC 40" with a "AT" added to the name.</li></ul> <p>Commodore PC 40-40 </p> <ul><li>The Commodore PC 40-40 is a PC 40 with a 40 MB hard drive and two 5.25-inch floppy drives.</li></ul> <h3>Second generation – Series II</h3> <p>Commodore PC 10-II </p> <ul><li>The Commodore PC 10-II is a minor revision of the original PC 10. It have mainly the same specifications and casing, but the main difference is that it has a new revised single motherboard opposed to the original PC 10 that have two motherboards combined. As the original PC 10, it comes with dual floppy drives and no hard drive.</li></ul> <p>Commodore PC 20-II </p> <ul><li>The Commodore PC 20-II is a PC 10-II with one floppy drive and one hard drive.</li></ul> <h3>Third generation – Series III</h3> <p>Commodore PC I </p> <ul><li>The Commodore PC 1 is a special small form factor PC inspired by the design of the Commodore 128, meant for budget homes or office use. The PC 1 has no internal room for Harddisk, the "PC 1-20" Harddrive came with a 3.5-inch 20 MB hard drive and can be connected to the expansion port. The machine can also be expanded with the "PC 1-NET" which added a <a href="/facts/Novell/lABGMT7U">Novell</a> <a href="/facts/Ethernet/nMfhU8tU">Ethernet</a> 10-bit card connected to the expansion port. There is no internal sound, but an 8 ohm speaker can be added. There was also an expansion box for connection 3 ISA cards.</li> <li>Expansion slots: Commodore "PCEXP1" is a special expansion cabinet made for PC1. this gives 3 additional ISA Slots plus an extra 5.25-inch drive.</li></ul> <p>Commodore PC 10-III </p> <ul><li>The Commodore PC 10-III is a complete revision of the PC 10 and 10-II machine. It has a new sleeker cabinet and better specifications. While the two generations before only went at 4.77 MHz, the new III series uses an 8088-1 CPU capable of 10 MHz speeds. The PC 10-III/Colt Faraday FE2010 chip-set allows the CPU speed to be adjustable via a SPEED.EXE utility via DOS or through keyboard commands. The default is the standard 4.77 MHz but the speed is adjustable to 7.16 MHz and 9.54 MHz. Being still a 8-bit machine, it has more standard RAM and a better video card. It came with two floppy drives.</li></ul> <p>Commodore COLT </p> <ul><li>An American version of the PC 10-III with slightly different front design.
