The Micro 16s was designed to be a powerful package of hardware and software in a professional business system. It offered a unique architectural design for the time: interchangeable microprocessors and thus operating systems. In fact most commonly used processors were Intel 8086 and Zilog Z80.
|
|
|
|
One or two processor boards could be plugged into the Micro 16s and either one could be in control of the bus, the memory, etc.\
|
|
Fujitsu also planned to launch Motorola 68000, Intel 80286 and Zilog Z8000 boards.
|
|
|
|
RAM memory boards could be added, from 128 KB to 1024 KB, thanks to the new 256 K-bit RAM chips.\
|
|
Fujitsu color graphics video terminal was handled by an independant video processor located onto the mainboard. A standard RGB monitor could be connected as well and used simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
With the Micro 16s, Fujitsu offered a very versatile system able to oparate all of the major microprocessors of the time, and run all existing operating systems.
