Info: The P6060 was the first personal computer with a built-in floppy disk. It was pressented in April 1975 at the Hannover fair besides to the smaller OLIVETTI: P6040 that stored data on Olivetti specific 2.5" 3 KB mylar minidisc.
The engineering team that devised the P6060 wanted to enclose into the machine everything the user would need, by integrating not only the printer but also the floppy drive.
Thus it became the first Personal Computer to have this unit built into the its interior.
Its central processing unit was on two cards, code named PUCE1 and PUCE2, with TTL components. It had an 80-column graphical thermal printer, 48 Kbytes of RAM, and BASIC language.
It was in competition with a similar product by IBM that had an external floppy disk drive.
The assembly line was located in the Olivetti factories of Scarmagno, some modules forming subsets of the machine as a printer or floppy disks were manufactured at plants in San Bernardo d'Ivrea.
