Hardware Description

Fujitsu's small computers were the inexpensive FACOM 230-10 (announced in March 1965), which enabled easy use of COBOL with Japanese kana letters, and the FACOM 230-15 (announced April 1970) which enabled construction of online programs. The FACOM V0 had already been announced as the successor of the FACOM 230-10 (in August 1974), and the FACOM V was announced as the successor of the FACOM 230-15 in January 1977.
