The TK 2000 microcomputer, produced by the Brazilian company Microdigital Eletrônica Ltda,[1][2][3] was presented to the public during the 1983 Computer Fair and launched in 1984.[4] It was a clone of the Microprofessor II manufactured by Multitech.[5][3] Based on the 6502 CPU, the machine was partially compatible with Apple II Plus software and hardware.[5][6] Some software was developed specifically for the machine, including productivity programs and games.[7][8]
In 1985 the TK2000/II was released and in 1987 the machine was discontinued.
