Commodore 16; the oddball underdog of the 8-bit era. Wedged between the VIC-20 and the C64, it came with just 16KB, a 7501 CPU, and a colour palette far fancier than its station in life. computermuseum computer commodore commodore16

ABC-26; a sci-fi-looking Japanese workstation from 1982 that could juggle eight programs at once. Powered by a Z80A at 4MHz with 64KB of RAM; running MP/M and DOSKET; and happy in MBASIC, CBASIC, Pascal, COBOL, Fortran and assembler.

80s micros were so fleeting, yet made such an impact. The QL’s OS actually had multitasking; you could run multiple jobs while SuperBASIC handled the foreground. For a 1984 home-business machine, that was unusually advanced.
