BASF gives a good deal

As if to prove that absolutely everyone seemed to be having a go at the microcomputer industry, even German globo-chemico-corp BASF launched its own micro, ostensibly off the bat of its manufacture of CPUs, memory and plug-in cards for mainframes.

With 64K and two Z80 CPUs, the BASF 7120 was offered at the typically business-only price of £5,500, or about [[5500|1980]] in [[now]].
