The forgotten Q1: The world’s first microcomputer?
I explore an exquisitely rare Q1 microcomputer, the line that started the microcomputer revolution back in 1972! Unlike the Datapoint 2200, which was first released with a CPU made of discrete TTL logic, the Q1 initially featured Intel’s 8008 microprocessor, therefore being the first true microcomputer line in the world. Join me so we can together learn more about this galant and trail-blazing, albeit forgotten, family of computers.
