This historical column follows the article on Mario Tchou's ELEA 9003, which was published in the June 2020 issue of IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, and recounts events that also took place at the Olivetti Company. We know that much of the early progress in personal computers took place in the United States, and particularly on the West Coast, in the early 1970s. Nevertheless, trailblazers were exploring the field elsewhere even earlier, and an important step forward was made by the Olivetti Company, about 10 years before, with the creation of a small desk computer, a device that incorporated a number of features that later became common in personal computers.
