ACT Apricot precedes even that, though not by much.
The Wikipedia
article says it was launched in September 1983 but I remember them
from much earlier in the year (I worked for an ACT distributor). They
had a built-in 3.5" drive (315K formatted, single-sided 600rpm) and
there was no 5.25" option.
Doesn't the Sony SMC70 have the first 3.5" floppy distinction?
(1982, IIRC). Or perhaps the Preis portable (same year).
