The Olivetti pc1 is an XT clone, probably intended for use as a home computer, manufactured in the late 1980s. Its specification and form factor are similar to the Amstrad PC20 (aka Sinclair PC200) or Schneider Euro PC: System unit contains motherboard, keyboard, power supply and floppy drives. I have recently aquired an Olivetti Prodest PC1. Interested of vintage PC:s, but the Olivetti caught my interest as it is shaped like an early all-in-one home computer, like the Atari ST. The computer is an IBM XT clone using a NEC V40 CPU. It is not 100% compatible, but it runs most of. Overview On this page you'll find pictures, videos and short descriptions of my adventures with a 30 year old Olivetti Prodest PC1. The PC1 I own is a XT style computer with a single floppy with 512KB of RAM and no hard drive. There were two other models, one with dual floppy drives and the best one with a floppy and hard drive.

Xanti Schawinsky, Olivetti shop in Turin, 1935.
The work was done by a decorator, a Bauhaus student called Xanti Schawinsky, who condensed the finest and most significant elements of European Rationalism in his work. Only very rarely, especially in Italy, have we seen a similar work in which the purity of design, the appropriate use of materials and the balanced forms surpass the genre of the project to become worthy of consideration as a work of art.
