The Olympia Disque is an electronic daisywheel typwriter with single-line alphanumeric display, battery-buffered RAM and a proprietary 2" floppy disk drive.
It was possible to enable the Olympia Disque for Teletex, either with an internal add-on-board (IKBS) or with an external device.
Hardware¶
Mainboard¶
The Mainboard comes assembled in a stack with two daughter boards:
The actual mainboard is the bottom board in the stack:
The mainboard hosts

Floppy¶
The floppy drive is a proprietary Olympia Mini-Disk (2" media cartridges with 8kBytes of storage).
As you can see in the picture, the plastic part holding the drive motor has cracked and the motor has fallen out.
IKBS board (63.400-6101.1 / ANT 66.3820.600.00-A001 SA-Ausg.B)¶
This is the internal extensions board turning the daisywheel typewriter into a Teletex device.
The board is the only one in the machine having shield covers, on both top and bottom side.
The label may indicate it was actually built by ANT and not by Olympia?
IF the shields are removed, the PCBA looks like this:
- 1x SAB 8085 A-C CPU (socketed)
- 6x MBM2764-30 64k (8192 x 8) EPROM (IC1..IC6)
