Recently learned there was a computer with dual Z80 and 68000 CPUs (my two favorites) from Cromemco.
- jecel 4y agoI saw one of those running Cromix. It was being sold in Brazil as if it were a local machine by Brascom called BR-1000[1]. They called the OS "BR1000" as well. Some students were trying some examples from the manual and they weren't working. I suggested they replace all calls to br1000() with cromix() and that did the trick. Another Z80/68K machine was the TRS-80 Model 16[2]. The Sega Genesis[3] (or Mega Drive) was another case of these two processors paired together.
