Mitsubishi releases 8-bit single chip micro
Mitsubishi releases 8-bit single chip micro Mitsubishi has launched an 8-bit single chip microcomputer, the M5M8050H. The chip has 4 kbyte of ROM and 256 byte of RAM onboard, and, at 350 mW, dissipates 30 per cent less power than previous Mitsubishi products.
Support systems Support systems for software development are available. They include a crossassembler, a debugger, and an evaluation board. The device is being marketed worldwide and Mitsubishi plans to produce 50000 per month. Only the Japanese price has been released - it's 2500 yen per chip for 5000 units. (Mitsubishi Electric
Rair puts two processors on first business package Rair has introduced a business microcomputer with dual 8- and 16-bit processors. It is the UK manufacturer's first product in the package business system marketplace. Up to four colour workstations can be supported. Maximum memory is 20 Mbyte on disc and 1 Mbyte of RAM and ROM. Rair's multitasking operating system 'provides compatibility with CP/M, MP/M and MS-DOS 8- and 16-bit operating systems'. Also offered are 16-bit implementations of BASIC, COBOL and PASCAL. A basic system with a 19 Mbyte hard disc, a 1 Mbyte floppy and

Single chip microcomputer has 4k ROM
Speech on CMOS Voice synthesis using CMOS technology has been made available by NEC. The 7752 Voice Synthesizer Chip uses five formats for voice synthesis with selectable bit rates from 1500 to 5600 bit/s. The 32 kbit onchip ROM contains about 21s of speech (at 1500 bit/s) which can consist of up to 63 messages.
Longer messages External ROM may be connected for longer speech messages. A clock generator and 9-bit D/A converter are also present. (NEC Electronics (UK)

The IBM PC/ookalike marketplace has been swollen by the arrival of the Eagle 1600 microcomputer. Claimed to be completely hardware and software compatible with IBM's micro, the Eagle has the advantage of having Intel's 8086 'true 16-bit' CPU instead of an 8088. Processing speed is sam to be 3 - 4 times that of the IBM. The Eagle 1600 uses the MS-DOS operating system with 128 kbyte of RAM. The model on offer in the UK has a 10 Mbyte (formatted) hard disc and a single 5¼-in floppy. The price is £5650. (Mediatech, Business Systems, Woodside Place, Alperton, Wembley, Middx HAO 1XA, UK.
