History and Trivia:
The laser 200 was the successor of the Laser 100/110 (which had only monochrome graphic
modes).
Adman Harbison says "The Video Technology Laser 200 (and the Laser 300) were marketed in
Australia by Dick Smith Electronics and badged as the VZ200 and the VZ300 computers.
For memory the computers were exactly the same, although he can not be too sure.
Some of the peripherals that I got while I had such a machine were things like a 16Kb
expansion cartridge, a printer/plotter which wasn't much bigger than those little
calculators that print out accounts etc. and some joysticks. The trouble with these
computers was that they tended to die after a couple of years use. But they were cheap and
came with a few software titles."
