The UK101 was a version of the OSI 600
Superboard, similar to the one shipped in the C1-P, modified for use in the UK
and Australia. The hardware was nearly the same, the system and BASIC ROMS
began as modified versions of the OSI ROMS.

My introduction to OSI came in 1978, I was fortunate to get a C2-8P system,
which looked something like
this. It had an OSI 500 CPU board with 4K of 2102 static RAM 1Mhz 6502
& BASIC in ROM, a 540 monochrome composite video board with 2Kx7bit RAM & a
64x32 display + cassette interface, and a 420C 4K static RAM board using 32
2102A 1Kx1 static RAM chips, and a 9" B/W composite monitor. Total price was
nearly $2000. Today you can emulate this system for free on your PC!
