Nascom

The Nascom 1 and 2 were single-board computer kits issued in 1977 and 1979, respectively, based on the Zilog Z80 and including a keyboard and video interface, as well as a serial port that could be used for storing data on a tape cassette using the Kansas City standard.

The predecessor of Borland's very successful Turbo Pascal compiler and IDE for CP/M and MSDOS were developed for the Nascom, under the name Blue Label Pascal.
