Weren't those just PC computers and less microcontrollers?
- kragen 2y agoNo, though chips like the 80186 did blur the line. But what I mean is that different companies sold things like 8051s with BASIC in ROM. Parallax had a very popular product in this category based on a PIC, you've probably heard of it: the BASIC Stamp.
- Cumpiler69 2y agoYou were talking abut microcontrollers from the 1970s, then you bring up Parralax as an example.
- kragen 2y agoNo, that was your edit to my text. I said, "in the 70s and later". You removed the "and later". You are behaving badly.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoIntel 8052AH-BASIC. I loved the manual for that chip! Written with a sense of irreverence that was very unlike Intel.
