Bigboard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bigboard was a Z80 based single-board computer designed by Jim Ferguson. Running the CP/M operating system, the design was a success in the amateur computer scene. It was also sold to Xerox, which used it as a basis for their Xerox 820 desktop computer. The Kaypro II portable computer's circuit board was so similar that some considered it an unlicensed copy.
