Hey unamericans, any candidates for personal computers made outside of the
US before 1976 (other than Micral)?
Define "personal computer" any way you like to as long as you define it
this way: digital, (semi)automatic, programmable, accessible/available,
small, inexpensive, and simpler than an F-14 fighter jet :-) Turing
completeness helps, but I'm flexible.
I'm looking for foreign brothers of machines like the Altair
(microprocessor), Kenbak-1 (discrete logic), Minivac (clocked relays),
GENIAC (rotary switches), etc. I'm also looking for pointers to old (say,
1940-1970) electronic hobbyist mags outside of the US.
Thanks,
Doug
