ROBOTRON – KC 87

El KC87 es el sucesor del KC85 / 1. La principal diferencia entre los dos sistemas es el intérprete BASIC integrado. Por lo tanto, era software y hardware compatible con su predecesor.

Este modelo existía en dos versiones diferentes: KC 87.30 y KC 87.31. Más tarde, tenía la opción RGB ya incluida.
