A Dick Smith VZ200 without the Dick Smith

The article explores the history and restoration of a VTech VZ200 home computer, tracing its origins from Hong Kong manufacturer Video Technology Ltd, founded in 1976 by Allan Wong and Stephen Leung, through its various international rebranding (including as Dick Smith Electronics in Australia). The author plans to modify an American NTSC version by removing branding, adding a serial port, and programming it with assembly language to make it functional again while comparing its cultural context across different markets in the 1980s.
