The Robotron KC 87, fully known as Kleincomputer robotron KC 87 (KC standing for Kleincomputer, lit. "small computer"), was an 8-bit microcomputer released in 1987 and produced in East Germany by VEB Robotron-Meßelektronik "Otto Schön" Dresden, part of Kombinat Robotron. The first model in the series, the Robotron Z 9001, originally designed as a home computer and introduced in 1984, was renamed to Robotron KC 85/1 in 1985 to de-emphasize its use as consumer good. Despite similar names, the Robotron Kleincomputers were not directly related to the KC 85 mass-produced by VEB Mikroelektronik "Wilhelm Pieck" Mühlhausen. The availability of the Robotron KC series for private customers was very limited. The computers were mostly used at educational institutions, organizations, and enterprises. Therefore, the extracurricular use of KC computers was often allowed for students at institutions and organizations. The Robotron KC series used an U880 microprocessor, a clone of the Zilog Z80, clocked at 2.5 MHz. Every machine came with a built-in keyboard, power supply and RF modulator. Software could be loaded from cassette tapes, which required a separate cassette deck.
