British microcomputer company Tangerine Computer SystemsThe choice of the company's name, Tangerine, was 'inspired' by the success of the-then already famous (in the computer business world) Apple Computer. was founded in 1979 by Dr. Paul Johnson and Barry Muncaster and was run out of offices in Ely, Cambridgeshire. The company was later renamed, and were known in most of the 1980s as Oric International.
Tangerine produced one of the first 6502-based kit computers, the Microtan 65. It had a 3U form factor, a small amount of memory, a video character generator, and a simple latch for entering hex data from a keypad. The majority of the chips were not socketed, which led to all sorts of hardware debugging issues. The manual came with a one-kilobyte listing of Conway's Game of Life. An optional expansion board could be built with UART, for keyboard, more memory and BASIC ROMs.
