Matra Alice
The Matra & Hachette Ordinateur Alice is a home computer sold in France beginning in 1983.
It was a clone of the TRS-80 MC-10, produced through a collaboration between Matra and Hachette in France and Tandy Corporation in the United States.
Unlike its progenitor, the Alice became a popular computer in France, aided by its presence in schools as part of the country's Informatique pour tous ("Information technology for everyone") program.
The original model had 4 kB of RAM and used a Motorola 6847 video display generator chip, as used in the Dragon 32 and Acorn Atom, among others.
