Cromemco Bytesaver (original) (raw)
The Bytesaver, introduced by Cromemco in 1976, was the first programmable memory board for the MITS Altair and S-100 bus microcomputer systems. The Bytesaver had sockets for 8 UV-erasable EPROMs providing up to 8 Kbytes of storage. The EPROMs could be programmed by the Bytesaver, or read as computer memory. In the history of microcomputer systems, the Bytesaver was the first viable alternative to the use of punched paper tape for storing programs, and has been called “a great advance in microcomputer technology”.

El Bytesaver tenía receptáculos para ocho EPROMs 2708 para proveer 8K bytes de almacenamiento. El Bytesaver podía programar y leer los EPROMs. El Bytesaver fue la primera alternativa al uso de cinta perforada para almacenar programas informáticos para microcomputadoras, y era “un gran logro en la tecnología de microcomputadoras”.
