APF Basic
The bundled APF Basic compiler allows any users to develop their own programs.
This is only available for an APF-M1000 paired with the “The Imagination Machine” addon. The “Imagination Machine” also had an Operating System that appears undocumented, a telephone modem addition, and a few other little things.

Operating Systems (Signetics 2650AI)
Hobby Module
This allowed access to a 6.5kb programmable memory module, and saving software to cassette tapes. This system runs a 2650AI, which might open it up to a few variants of DOS that ran on the 2560.
