The implementation of the decree on tariffs on microcomputer imports, which imposed a tax of 5,800 pesetas on devices imported from the EEC, led Investronica (exclusive importer of the ZX Spectrum) to decide to manufacture them in Spain.
A variant of the Dragon 200 modified specifically for the Spanish market, which expanded the ROM character set to include lowercase letters, letters specific to Spain such as ñ, ü, ç, and accented vowels, along with other symbols.
This was achieved at the expense of reverse video characters, since the original version of this computer only allowed capital letters.
In 1986, Inves manufactured its first "IBM-compatible" PC, the first PC manufactured in Spain, and distributed by El Corte Inglés.
Inves sold these bulky computers as multi-user workstations with a UNIX operating system, with clock speeds of 20 or 25 MHz.
