There was also the Sinclair Cambridge Programmable calculator, with its 4-bit machine code.Originally posted by zeitghostAnd they're wrong about the ZX80 too.
Sinclair brought out the Mk 14 in 1978. For £43 odd.
With a whole 256 bytes of ram.
I've still got mine, and the four books of programs that came with it

There were 2 main iterations of Compaq luggable, the first looked a lot like the IBM (again it was a desktop in a sturdy box), but there were some differences. The second was a lot more refined with a plasma display on a pivot that came forwards and up, it was a lot more portable.Originally posted by Platypus View PostYeah, I identified it as the Compaq, which I remember seeing.

The IBM dealership I worked for also did Compaq warranty work.
