"By 1986 I was already working as a professional programmer in BASIC on Apple ][ computers, but it was only late that year I was able to buy my very own Apple ][. This was my third personal computer. Again, it was a brazilian clone of the classic Apple ][. Mine was built by the brazilian calculator company "Dismac" after 1982:

Model: D8100
CPU: 6502 1 MHz
RAM: 48 KiB
ROM: 12 KiB
OS: AppleSoft Basic, AppleDos 3.3
Storage: 5.25" 140 KiB diskettes (per side, you could "flip" the diskettes and use both sides)
Still in 1986 I bought a Z80 expansion card and started working with dBase II on CP/M, and a 64 KiB memory expansion."
