I just read the Datapoint 2200 post and thought some of you might like to see this. According to
Wikipedia
, the first time the term "microprocessor" was used was with the Viatron System 21 Intelligent terminal designed in 1968. The "microprocessor" was actually a two board set and the internals of the example I have in my collection is a cavalcade of white ceramic and gold along with numerous other era components.

. Sadly, it is still not operational but I'll get back around to it soon.

You can hear it singing "Daisy" as you pull the cards out, I'll bet...

The board in slot 5 is not a microprocessor, it's a MICROPROSSOR (whatever that is).
