Altair 8800

33 bytes added, 20:39, 9 November 2013
The SIMH emulator can also emulate an 8800.
The Altair 8800 started the dominance of 8080/Z80-based, CP/M-supporting microcomputers for the home market, which led to Amstrad including CP/M support in CPCs with disc drives and PCWs (although in 1985 CP/M use was already on the decline). And of course even the Commodore 128 that came out in 1985 could run CP/M thanks to a built-in Z80, so evidently it was not just Amstrad who were lusting after the huge CP/M software library, in particular business software.
