42 years ago: IMS Associates, Inc. announces the IMSAI 8080.
Like all early S-100 based systems, the IMSAI is really just a large metal case with a power supply, and numerous slots to insert the expansion cards. But due to the limitless expandability afforded by the S-100 bus design, an actual keyboard, monitor, printer, data storage, and other peripherals can all easily be added to make this a very useful system. https://oldbytes.space/media/bwmZtf5mFcG73ksNTbo
After hearing from @BryanLunduke@mastodon.rocks that #Endless is no longer creating and selling their own hardware, I just had to get myself one of these! Mission One 500. https://oldbytes.space/media/juiRZfDhrh5q_5LZhPs
I just opened 9 @BryanLunduke videos at the same time and was nearly overwhelmed by the chaotic sexiness of all those voices.

30 Years ago: Zilog announces the Z280 processor, integrating a 256 byte instruction cache and memory management. Speed is 10-12 MHz at 5 volts.
The Zilog Z280 was a 16-bit microprocessor, an enhancement of the Zilog Z80 architecture, introduced in July 1987. It was basically the Z800, renamed, with slight improvements such as being fabricated in CMOS. It was a commercial failure. 🤔 https://oldbytes.space/media/eOUF2LPMZBT8Lgvm-Ko
