Memotech MTX 512 in Weird Science (1985)

Wyatt uses the Memotech (with FDX add-on) to build a model girlfriend which, after hacking into the Pentagon to get more power, is used to generate Lisa.

Importance: *****
Realism: **
Even suspending disbelief about the creating girlfriends thing, the graphics shown are much better than the Memotech was capable of.

Actually your comment about suspending disbelief is off the mark, the memotech was unusual in that you could get a very high resolution video board for it that was designed for scientific, and AV work, when the Memotech company folded the video technology was saved and used to develop video walls. the resolution and graphic power of the HRX board was better than was available from grapic workstations at the time this may be the reason the memotech was used in the movie

I knew it! I had a picture of a frame from Weird Science, just showing part of the keyboard (logo mostly cut off) and I always wanted to find out what keyboard that was. I just looked at a Memotech keyboard picture and noticed a similarity - and saw how the letters line up with the cut off logo in the screenshot I have. I could have saved myself the trouble and just checked here. It's a very nice looking keyboard. I wish I could find one.
