RS's first 8 bit buss  was  4bit plus 4bit cpu
not an 8 bit cpu, late 70's.
I was speaking of today when I mentioned more bit
cpu's and the distant past for 4 bit although
early 80's was when I had the sinclair but
it was a z80 when I could buy the CPU for $100
and three years later could buy a z80 for $9.95 .

I wrote algol for a burroughs 2200 (1962 era) - don't know
its buss size or speed -don't know if it was 8 bit or not .
Fortran for a spectra 360, the 48K - max 64K latest thing computer
for its' day - 1963-64 time slot .

I only bought the mc-10 to experiment - cost me ten dollars U.S.
on sale because it was obsolete - 2mhz and 20Kram max, I think .
