The FM-11 (Fujitsu Micro 11) was a business computer announced by Fujitsu in November 1982.[1] It is a higher-end model of their previous FM-8 computer, and was released simultaneously with the mass-market FM-7 machine.[2]
The FM-11 series was intended to be used in offices and the EX model had a price of 398 000 yen in 1983/4.[3][4] Japanese characters could be displayed by using a 16×16 pixel font.[3]
The FM-11 range was replaced by the 16-bit FM-16β series by the mid-1980s.
