Cat
Il gatto era una versione ribattezzata del Laser 3000, prodotta a Hong-Kong.
Era parzialmente compatibile con il computer Apple II nella sua versione base, ma completamente compatibile quando veniva inserita la cartuccia dell’emulatore Apple II.
Funzionava con il sistema operativo Apple DOS 3.3 o CP / M 2.2 con una scheda Z80 opzionale.
