The HP 9830 just being discussed might be one for your consideration,
depending on how you want to classify a microcomputer. It's a
desktop, 'personal' computer with built-in BASIC but the CPU is
implemented in TTL, not a single-chip microprocessor. Introduced
1972, encountered by personal experience in computer/programming
course high school 1976.
