Home computer, 1984, Video Technology. The Laser 310 is the successor of the Laser 200 and 210, sold in Australia as the VZ 300: it keeps the same Z80 architecture, Microsoft BASIC and 6847 video chip, so it runs the same software, but it has a better keyboard with real keys, 16 KB of RAM on board and a redesigned case. Floppy drives, printer interfaces and memory modules were available for it.
