The Commodore PC10-III was an IBM XT compatable computer released in 1988 along with the PC20-III and Commodore Colt. They all used the same motherboard and were very much alike, only varying in things like minor cosmetic items and disk capacity.

Ironically, Commodore's line of PC compatible computers accelerated their demise. At this time the Commodore 64 and Amiga were still quite successful. However, their DOS based computers lost them money. Maybe if Commodore had put that money into further developing the Amiga line maybe Commodore would have had some of Apple's later success.

Specs include:

  • CPU: Intel 8088-1 (4.77MHz, 7.16MHz, 9.54MHz)
  • RAM: 640Kb
  • Chipset: Faraday FE2010A
  • 360K 5.25" Floppy disk drive
  • Video: Onboard Paradise PVC4
  • 3 8-bit ISA slots
  • 75 watt power supply
