The hardware was accompanied by Olivetti’s long-promised Unix Integrated Business and Information System office software, including X-Manager for managing and passing information between applications; word processing, file management, mail, print management, notepad and system administration tools. On the personal computer front, the firm added the M380/XP9 based on the 33MHz 80386 with 4Mb or 8Mb and 32Kb cache, and two low-end boxes, the Pcs-86, using a NEC V30 and the Pcs-286, using a 12MHz 80286 part.
