# Nova 1000

[Nova 1000](http://localhost/product/nova-1000/) claims to provide the humble TS1000 with the ability to perform multi-tasking. In case you are unaware, the usual method to achieve multi-tasking is to use one of the newer CPUs. The reason is that they have the additional registers and have been specifically designed for multi-tasking. Obviously then, this is no small claim for the Z80 CPU or the TS1000.
