Tiki 100

Tiki-100 was a desktop home/personal computer manufactured by Tiki Data of Oslo, Norway. The computer was launched in the spring of 1984 under the original name Kontiki-100, and was first and foremost intended for the emerging educational sector, especially for primary schools. Early prototypes had 4 KB ROM, and the '100' in the machine's name was based on the total amount of memory in kilobytes.

==Development== In December 1982, as many as 75 different models of computer were found to be in use in Norwegian schools, with as many as 30 schools being the only users of their chosen system. Such fragmentation was regarded as hindering the development and sharing of educational software, and a need had also arisen to ensure that computing equipment procured for schools would be flexible, expandable, and adaptable to new applications. On the basis of consultations and a tendering process for personal computers, a specification was formulated for computing equipment in the Norwegian school system, and it was decided by the Norwegian government that school computers would, at least in the first instance, employ the established operating system CP/M.
