I decided to get my BYTE #1 out of the vault, and a make a quick list of
microcomputers that were mentioned in that issue (Sept 1975):

Martin Research MIKE 2 (8008) and MIKE 3 (8080) (no mention of the MIKE 1)
games mentioned: Space War, LIFE
Carl Helmer's ref to a self-published article on his 8008 microcomputer
(Summer 1974)
MITS Altair 8800
National Semiconductor IMP-8
National Semiconductor IMP-16 (the first 16-bitter)
Scelbi-8B (8008)
RGS Electronics RGS 008A (8008)
Mark-8 (8008)
Godbout PACE (16-bitter)
Sphere 1 (6800)

This list is by no means complete, it just represents those who BYTE could
talk into advertising by the time their first issue came out.
