>-The first Z-80 micro


Nope.

>-The first micro with a Winchester HD


Nope.

>-The first micro color graphics system


Yes and significant.

>-The first micro implementation of I/O channel processors


Nope, IMSAI had a 8080 in the FDC.

>-The first micro to boot from ROM without front panel switches


Nope, NS* and a slew of others. First was likely the Poly 88.

>-The first micro with integrated floppy disks


Not hardly.

Nice claims, put dates and supporting evidence up. Cromemco is best known
for The Dazzler color display, RF tight systems in solid boxes and generally
good systems.
