===== History and Trivia =====
Swedish computer system, successor of the Luxor ABC 80. Two versions are available: ABC 800M/HR (monochrome) and ABC 800C/HR (color)
There were several successors to the ABC800, most notably the ABC802 with built-in small 9" monitor and the ABC806 with more memory and more advanced 512x240x16 graphics.
The ABC 800 series was also sold by Facit under the DTC (DeskTop Computer) name, in a darker enclosure.
