A quick look at the Dick Smith Electronics (DSE) VZ300 computer, known as the Laser 310 elsewhere, along with @bennvennelectronics excellent SD loader.
This is a 16KB Z80-based machine which apparently had four revisions of the keyboard - I think the one I have is the final revision.
It's possible to upgrade the video RAM from 2KB to 8KB and thereby enable "super high resolution" of 256x192! I will definitely be giving that a try.
