The ENER 1000 was a Portuguese computer released in 1982. It was based on the Zilog Z80A processor. It had 64 KB RAM and two 5+1⁄4-inch double-density floppy disk drives. It ran the CP/M operating system.
The machine was developed at University of Coimbra by a team lead by João Gabriel Silva, and sold through Enertrónica after 1982. More than 100 units were sold. It came with software for stock management, salary processing, and accounting.
In January 1983 the machine was announced and received the 1st prize for innovation at the Portuguese Electronics Trade Fair Endiel (Encontro Nacional para o Desenvolvimento das Indústrias Elétricas e Eletrónicas).
In 1984, a dozen of ENER 1000 were distributed to some secondary schools. In 1985 the ENER 1000 project ended and a more evolved version, the UNIC, started.
