Ricoh introduces the RICOM 8, its first office computer
Ricoh was a pioneer in the field of office computer development that saw rapid growth in Japan in the
1970s.
This is illustrated by the 1971 introduction of the
RICOM 8, the company's first office computer, which was developed jointly with TDK. The embedded magnetic core memory with a 2/4 kilobyte capacity and 64-bit CPU demonstrated exceptional (at that time) storage capability and high-speed performance.
The product was also highly regarded for its spacesaving tower-structure design.
