Philips P2000M

The P2000M adapted the P2000 architecture for professional use with an integrated monochrome display and floppy-disk storage in a substantial desktop enclosure.

It extended Philips’ early microcomputer platform from home and education into word processing and CP/M business applications.

Notable Features

• Integrated monitor
• Floppy-disk-based professional configuration
• P2000-family expansion architecture

Historical Significance

• It extended Philips’ early microcomputer platform from home and education into word processing and CP/M business applications.

Collector’s Notes

• Complete disk drives, keyboard and system software are important because the professional configuration is much scarcer than the P2000T.
• Memory, storage, displays and expansion hardware should be documented because configurations often changed during a system’s working life.
