1982.

In some countries, this machine was called for CGL, but in most others for Sord M5. It was a puzzling little computer. In the first place, it was very small. It had rubber keys resembled of those on Sinclair machines albeit slightly better. It had no full-sized spacebar. It resembled the MSX computers, but were not compatible. It had very little RAM, 4 KB was directly accessable, the rest was seizure by the graphic chip. ROM contained only integer-BASIC. If you wanted to do a little more, it was a good idea to buy a cartridge containing BASIC-G (graphics) or the BASIC-F (mathematical and scientific applications). There were also available a FALC-cartridge to purchase, that included a spreadsheet similar to VisiCalc.
