=== ABC 800 ===
The ABC 800 came in a [[monochrome]] version with [[amber (color)|amber]] text on a [[brown]] background with an 80 character wide screen, and a color version with 40 characters. The main board is integrated with the keyboard, much like the [[Amiga 500]]. However, the ABC computer has a very sturdy metal chassis.

Storage is usually two [[Floppy disc#5¼-inch floppy disk|5.25"]] [[floppy disk]] units in 160, 320 or 640&nbsp;KB capacity.  External hard disk systems became available later (primarily the ABC 850 with 10 MB). Model numbers 'ABC 800 M' for monochrome and 'ABC 800 C' for color.

Luxor advertising asked, "Who needs [[IBM PC compatible|IBM-compatibility]]?" However, most computer buyers eventually considered it a requirement. A certain degree of compatibility between the ABC and IBM PC platforms could be achieved with the help of a program called '[[W ABC]]'.

The ABC 800 computer was also sold by [[Facit]] under the name Facit DTC.<ref name=":0" />
