Hardware Description

Step/one is the Swedish telecom manufacturer Ericsson's first attempt to market a PC. The step/one was produced by Panasonic in Japan. It was said to by IBM-PC compliant but in reality was not. Most of the DOS programs at that time need to be adapted for the step/one. If they could be used at all. No wonder this was not a success. The idea was soon dropped and the step/ones already produced was sold to the Ericsson staff at discount prices to be used as home computers.
