Here's an interesting tidbit. Apparently Data
General made a line of
computers dubbed "The Digital Group". According to this entry in the
table, they were systems based on the Z-80, 8080A, 9080A, 6800 and 6502
processors; they had 2K of main memory; they used cassettes for storage.
Can anyone verify this?
digital group (properly all-lc) had nothing to do with Data General. They
were a fanatical mail-order vendor of their own micro and peripheral kits,
led (the operative word) by a Dr. Robert Suding and located somewhere in
Arizona (?) The computers had multiple processors for maximum software
compatibility; the designs were arcane as hell, making the kits difficult
to construct.
