EuroMicro Advert - March 1983
From Practical Computing
EuroMicro's answer to high-performance and flexibility
EuroMicro Ltd of north London, apparently a UK offshoot of EuroMicro Inc, is another one of those value-added reseller companies that seems to have left no trace.
Here it is offering two systems, the first of which is a straightforward re-badged Zenith Z100, masquerading as the EuroMicro Z100.
This was a dual-processor model with an 8086 for 16-bit operations, as well as an 8085 for older 8-bit support. It retailed from £1,895, which is about £8,370 in 2026.
The second machine is a bit more interesting, as EuroMicro claims in the advert that it had been "quietly busy developing a range of computers".
Called the M8/16, the machine was also dual-procesor with a similar 8088/8085 combination as seen in the Z100. Intended as a multi-user system, it ran CP/M-86 and MP/M-86 and could support up to seven users.
What makes it a bit more interesting though is that it is based on Ithaca InterSystems' Series II or possibly even the DPS-8000 - first released in September 1981 - although that used Zilog's Z8002.
However, the stack of cases is almost identical that which featured in a DPS-8000 advert found in October 1981's Byte Magazine[1].
It retailed from £2,995 plus VAT, which is around £15,400 in 2026.
