Here's an old (and lean) website full of detail about their lineup

http://www.feb-patrimoine.com/projet/

here's another https://r2e-micro-informatique.jimdofree.com/ (with a picture involving woz :)

I'm not sure my memory is correct, but some of the designers went to work in the US in the 60s, when communication and data processing started to blend. The interactions between US and European mindsets was interesting.

SirFatty•8mo ago

Thanks! I would have loved to be part of that (and the homebrew scene), but I missed it by about five years.

agumonkey•8mo ago

Damn, so close yet so far.

ps: slightly related, but the Bull brand is still alive, Bull SA makes supercomputers https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/TERA-1000

We are both most probably living right now what will be in history the "early LLM era" though.

And on the hardware side, Tiny Tapeout and Risc-V are quite nice too.
