Released in 1980, the Dismac D8000 was the first personal computer manufactured in Brazil. It was also the first Brazilian TRS-80 Model I clone.

It used a 2 MHz Zilog Z80A microprocessor, with 16KB of RAM and 16Kb of ROM (containing Level II BASIC). Video output was through a PAL-M television, displaying 64x16 or 32x16 characters text mode or 128x48 semigraphics. The keyboard contained 51 keys and was part of the case, like the cassette recorder and the main processor unit.

The machine is considered rare, even in the Brazilian vintage computer market.
