The model of good business: Tuscan - the all-British microcomputer

Perhaps the chosen name - Tuscan - in the context of "all British" was meant to be ironic, but anyway this machine - an update of the regular Tuscan which had been launched the year before - maintains its "Commodore PET on steroids" case design, whilst also making a thing of being based on the 1975-vintage S-100 bus, hence the slight name change to Tuscan S100. 

The entry-level price was £2,125, or about [[2125|1982]] in [[now]] prices. Stick a 5MB Winchester on and it was £3,625 - a cool [[3625|1982]] in [[now]]. 

Additional software was also available, including word processing at £315 ([[315|1982]]) and a business accounts package at a bargain £800, or [[800|1982]] now.
