Olivetti P6040

The Olivetti P6040 was a microprocessor-based personal computer (8080) that had a floppy disk drive of 2.5 inches, programmable in Mini BASIC. 

Designed by Pier Giorgio Perotto, it was presented at Hannover Messe in April 1975 together with the P6060, its hardware used TTL technology.  Both had a brown-colored case. 

The P6040 was little in dimensions and weight, thanks to the introduction of microprocessor (for the first time at Olivetti). 

Another innovation in the model was the introduction of the display LED.  The design was by Mario Bellini. 

It was produced starting from 1977.
