FM-8
Description

This was a Fujitsu's first 8-bit personal computer (at the time it was called a "microcomputer" rather than a "personal computer"). After introducing the LKIT-8 (announced in March 1977) and the NEW LKIT-8 hobby microcomputers, Fujitsu announced the FUJITSU MICRO 8 (hereafter referred to as the "FM-8"), an 8-bit microcomputer in May 1981, as the first entry in its FM Series. The FM-8 was developed by employing innovative design and state-of-the-art semiconductor technology, and was designed for use in a variety of fields, ranging from high-level hobby use, to business applications and process control.
