Question: Between TRS-80 MC-10 and Sord Computer Corporation, which was founded/produced earlier?
Context: The Sord M5 is a home computer launched by Sord Computer Corporation in 1982.  Primarily the Sord M5 competed in the Japanese home computer market.  It was also sold as the CGL M5 in the United Kingdom by Computer Games Limited, and was reasonably popular in Czechoslovakia, where the M5 stood as one of the first affordable computers available to the general public.  Takara also sold models in Japan as the Game M5, and models were also exported to South Korea. Hypergrowth: The Rise and Fall of the Osborne Computer Corporation (ISBN  ) was published in 1984 and coauthored by Adam Osborne and John C. Dvorak.  It tells the story of the Osborne Computer Corporation from the establishment of the company in 1980 until its bankruptcy in 1983, written from Osborne's point of view.  A paperback version (ISBN  ) was published in 1985. Sord Computer Corporation was a Japanese electronics company, founded in 1970 by the entrepreneur Takayoshi Shiina.  It is now Toshiba Personal Computer System Corporation, a subsidiary of Toshiba. Chromasette was the first cassette-based TRS-80 Color Computer magazine produced by David Lagerquist and was an offshoot of "CLOAD" magazine.  The first issue was published July 1981 and the last issue was published in July 1984.  Issues were published monthly.  While some references cite the price as having been $3.50 USD an issue, it was advertised in Creative Computing magazine in May 1983 as $45 USD a year for 12 issues, $25 USD for 6 issues, or $5 USD each.  The first issue contained 5 Basic programs and the "cover" of the electronic magazine (which had to be loaded onto a TRS-80 Color Computer and then run) was dynamic.  Included with each cassette was a 5-6 page newsletter explaining the programs included on the cassette, including their PMODE and PCLEAR values (if needed), their locations on tape, and several paragraphs of documentation about each (sometimes suggesting program alterations that change or improve the results).  The newsletter contained tips, rumors (for example whether the TRS-80 Color Computer would soon support 5" floppy diskette drives in addition to cassettes for loading and recording software programs), along with other insights.  They contained a variety of information about the Color Computer and some of the hardware and software available for it.  In addition, they included advertisements.  Dave signed only his first name to the "CLOAD" and "Chromasette" letters. The Matra & Hachette Ordinateur Alice was a home computer sold in France beginning in 1983.  It was a clone of the TRS-80 MC-10, produced through a collaboration between Matra and Hachette in France and Tandy Corporation in the United States. BINAC, the Binary Automatic Computer, was an early electronic computer designed for Northrop Aircraft Company by the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation in 1949.  Eckert and Mauchly, though they had started the design of EDVAC at the University of Pennsylvania, chose to leave and start Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC), the first computer company.  BINAC was their first product, the first stored-program computer in the United States; the BINAC is also sometimes wrongly claimed to be the world's first commercial digital computer even though it was very limited in scope, never fully functional and always economically unviable. The Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC) (March 1946 – 1950) was founded by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly.  It was incorporated on December 22, 1947.  After building the ENIAC at the University of Pennsylvania, Eckert and Mauchly formed EMCC to build new computer designs for commercial and military applications.  The company was initially called the Electronic Control Company, changing its name to Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation when it was incorporated.  In 1950, the company was sold to Remington Rand, which later merged with Sperry Corporation to become Sperry Rand, and survives today as Unisys. The TRS-80 MC-10 microcomputer is a lesser-known member of the TRS-80 line of home computers, produced by Tandy Corporation in the early 1980s and sold through their RadioShack chain of electronics stores.  It was apparently designed as a low-cost alternative to Tandy's own TRS-80 Color Computer to compete with entry-level machines that had previously dominated the market, such as the Commodore VIC-20 and Sinclair ZX81. The MC6847 is a video display generator (VDG) first introduced by Motorola and used in the TRS-80 Color Computer, Dragon 32/64, Laser 200, TRS-80 MC-10 and Acorn Atom, among others.  It is a relatively simple display generator compared to other display chips of the time.  It is capable of displaying text and graphics contained within a roughly square display matrix 256 pixels wide by 192 lines high.  It is capable of displaying nine colors: black, green, yellow, blue, red, buff (almost-but-not-quite white), cyan, magenta, and orange.  The low display resolution is a necessity of using television sets as display monitors.  Making the display wider risked cutting off characters due to overscan.  Compressing more dots into the display window would easily exceed the resolution of the television and be useless. The Actrix computer, released in 1984 by Actrix Computer Corporation, was a Zilog Z80-based transportable personal computer running CP/M-80 V2.2.  It was initially released as the Access Computer, made by Access Matrix Computer Corporation, but both the company and its product changed names after trademark disputes.
Answer: Sord Computer Corporation
