General Information
The Telmac TMC-600 was manufactured by Telercas Oy in Finland and released around 1982. The design of the TMC-600 is quite similar to the COMX-35 and the Pecom 64, even the BASIC is based on the same code as these computers. All 3 were based on Quest Super BASIC which is running in this emulator on the Elf (Cosmac, Netronics or Quest). One main difference between the COMX and the Telmac is the fact that the character memory is in RAM in the COMX and in ROM in the Telmac which made graphics kind of impossible.
