Commodore Amiga and Atari ST were 16-bit 68000 chips. The BBC Micro was 8 bit and a 6502 chip, that era had at least the following: BBC Atom, Micro, Electron, Master Commodore Pet, Vic32, Commodore 64 Atari 400/800 XL Tandy TRS80 Oric Atmos Sinclair ZX80, 81, Spectrum, QL Amstrad CPC 464 Dragon 32/64 MSX machines | ||||||||

The Sinclair QL was a 68k machine, not an 8-bit (and famously what Linus Torvalds had before he got a 386 based PC). Edit: 8-bit data bus though, which I didn't know until reading up on the Motorola 68008 just now! Trust Uncle Clive to cheap-out as usual... I cut my teeth on a ZX81 and even had a Spectrum +3 later on - that was the last gasp of the 8-bit Z80 Sinclair line, although the IP was owned by Amstrad by then. | ||||||||

I am not sure what your point is here. You miscategorize most of the lines in this list. > Commodore Amiga and Atari ST were 16-bit 68000 chips. And the Mac which outsold both in the long run. You missed: Sinclair QL -- also a MC 680x0. > The BBC Micro was 8 bit and a 6502 chip, that era had at least the following: > BBC Atom, Micro, Electron, Master > Commodore Pet, Vic32, Commodore 64 > Atari 400/800 XL All 6502, yes. But you missed: > Oric Atmos Then you do not have a category for Zilog kit. Powered by the Z80: > Tandy TRS80 > Sinclair ZX80, 81, Spectrum, QL Not the QL, no. > Amstrad CPC 464 > MSX machines Then another error. This line: > Dragon 32/64 Is neither 6502 nor Z80. It is a Motorola 6809, along with 1 model of TRS-80. Given this confusion I am not sure what you were trying to say. |
