Anyone come across the Q1? This article:
claims the Q1 microcomputer was launched in 1972 (using the Intel 8008), so about the same same as the Datapoint 2200 came out with the 8008. the article however says the Q1 was first!
Interesting to know whose collection this machine was part of, article says it was part of 'among over 60 vintage computers from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s' and was found during a house clearance.
