Quite possibly VTech second most powerful computer for kids, just behind the I.Q., The Unlimited is a Console-Computer hybrid akin to something like the Coleco Adam, Atari XEGS or the Odyssey 2. The main OS was heavily influenced by Windows 3.1 and the system it self included 45 programs built-in. The PCU runs on a DragonBall MCU, a 68000-based microcontroller widely used on Palm OS device of the era. Many of the basic features and oddities that came standard on most late 90s and early 2000s VTech educational computers can be found on the PCU as well. this includes a cartridge slot for more programs & games, a parallel port for printing and an odd mouse that plugged into an RJ11-Type port.
