Commodore 128
"Equipped with Dual CPUs and Capable of Running Multiple Operating Systems"
Produced between 1985 and 1989, the Commodore 128 was Commodore’s final 8-bit home computer. Featuring two processors—the MOS 8502 and the Zilog Z80—the C128 could run Commodore BASIC and GEOS using the 8502, and CP/M via the Z80. In addition to the standard model, two desktop variants (C128D and C128DCR) were released, featuring a built-in 5.25” 1571 floppy disk drive and a 93-key detachable QWERTY keyboard.
IBM AT 5170
"IBM 5170 -The Birth of the AT Standard"
Introduced in August 1984 and discontinued in 1987, the IBM Personal Computer AT (Model 5170) established a new benchmark in the 1980s computing market. Shortly after its release, it became widely imitated by other PC manufacturers. Powered by the 16-bit Intel 80286 processor, the IBM AT introduced significant innovations, including EGA graphics, 16-bit expansion slots, and a 1.2MB 5.25" floppy disk drive. In April 1986, IBM refreshed the AT by upgrading the CPU from 6 to 8 MHz.
