The Thomson TO9 is a home computer introduced by French company Thomson SA in 1985.[1]

It's based on the Thomson TO7/70 with new features.[2] It included a built-in 320 Kb 3.5" floppy drive unit, and inputs for light pen, joystick, and mouse. The ROM included some utilities like: two BASIC versions, a word processor (Paragraphe) and a database program (Fiche & Dossiers).[3] The machine was compatible with the previous TO7 and TO7/70 models.[4]

Introduced in October 1985, the Thomson TO9 was quickly replaced with the Thomson TO9+ that came out in 1986.[5]
