[ARC5] Disposing of early 8 bit uP system

[Jim Wiley]

Cromemco comes to mind.  They definitely had a Fortran compiler 
available for their systems (I had one).

If I remember correctly, they had both 8 and 16 bit Zilog (Z80, Z8000) 
based machines, as well as some MC68000 (Motorola) based units.

I even had a 10 MB (that's right,  10 megabyte!) hard drive that 
occupied about 2 cubic feet of volume.  Cost me around $4000.00 -   and 
I was the "big kid on the block" for quite a while.  My friends asked me 
why I would ever need as much as 10 megabytes of storage - they thought 
I was nuts!

Does, for example, anyone know another 8 bit system running Fortran IV 
in that era?
