The Thomson MO5 is a home computer introduced in France in 1984 to compete against systems such as the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. At the same time Thomson also released the up-market Thomson TO-7/70 machine. The MO5 was not sold in vast quantities outside of France and was largely discontinued in favour of the improved Thomson MO6 in 1986. MO5s were also used as educational tools in French schools for a period.The Thomson MO5 runs on a Motorola 6809E processor clocked at 1 MHz.
