The Abacus 1000
?
In '78 ... we handed Fortran and 370 Assembler punch card decks in at the Computer Room window ... and picked up the printouts later. CRT showed up around '80...
All flavors
No PCs until much later ... but microcode on a Motorola 6800 microprocessor based comm device that was similar to a Carrera ECU chip in '84 ... but ours had 18 of them and cost 5 times more than a cheap new Porch 911
The Porch is still cooler
