The DAI personal computer[1][2][3][4] is an early home computer from the Belgian company Data Applications International.[5][6][7] The DAI came to market in 1980.[8] It provided many pioneering features such as high resolution color graphics, a maths co-processor, and a pre-compiling BASIC interpreter. However, it never became a commercial success.
Contemporary reviews noticed the lack of application packages, with the computer appealing more for programmers.[9]
