Commodore LCD

<p>The Commodore LCD (sometimes known in short as the CLCD) is an unreleased <a href="/facts/Liquid_crystal_display/8B6xGBEz">LCD</a>-equipped <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">laptop</a> made by <a href="/facts/Commodore_International/SlfXKbCN">Commodore International</a>. It was presented at the January 1985 <a href="/facts/Consumer_Electronics_Show/JUmN49Fl">Consumer Electronics Show</a>, but never released.  The CLCD was not directly compatible with other Commodore <a href="/facts/Home_computer/CDEPVd1T">home computers</a>, but its built-in <a href="/facts/Commodore_BASIC/wYrzVk3f">Commodore BASIC</a> 3.6 interpreter could run programs written in the <a href="/facts/Commodore_128/vKlttwT1">Commodore 128</a>'s BASIC 7.0, as long as these programs did not include system-specific <a href="/facts/PEEK_and_POKE/FbehgI9c">POKE</a> commands. Like the <a href="/facts/Commodore_264/ubQLsy5o">Commodore 264</a> and <a href="/facts/Radio_Shack/EHzYMpkP">Radio Shack</a> <a href="/facts/TRS-80_Model_100/SGHdYSAJ">TRS-80 Model 100</a> series computers, the CLCD had several built-in <a href="/facts/Read-only_memory/P9QMuDLH">ROM</a>-based <a href="/facts/Office_suite/WcKtjN6j">office application</a> programs. 
</p><p>The CLCD featured a 1 MHz Rockwell 65C102 <a href="/facts/Central_processing_unit/Jxp1bqMV">CPU</a> (a <a href="/facts/CMOS/NJIWYgBl">CMOS</a> <a href="/facts/MOS_Technology_6502/q9YLwkzm">6502</a> variant) and 32 <a href="/facts/Kibibyte/BNHUp9Qq">KB</a> of <a href="/facts/Random_access_memory/DuD4bxh6">RAM</a> (expandable to 64 KB internally). The BASIC interpreter and application programs were built into 96 KB of <a href="/facts/Read-only_memory/P9QMuDLH">ROM</a>.
