Intelligent Systems Corporation's first product was the Intecolor 8001,[1] an intelligent terminal based on the Intel 8080. In December 1976, the newly formed Compucolor subsidiary released the Compucolor 8001.[2][3] This converted an Intecolor 8001 into a complete computer with BASIC on a built-in ROM.

These machines offered a graphics display with 192 x 160 resolution and 80 x 48 character text display (in single row height) or 80 x 24 character in (double height mode), in 8 primary RGB colors.[4][5]
