Nascom
From Academic Kids
The Lucas Nascom 1 and 2 were single-board computer kits issued in 1977 and 1979, respectively, based on the Zilog Z80 and including a keyboard and video interface, as well as a serial port that could be used for storing data on a tape cassette using the Kansas City standard. The inclusion of a full keyboard and video interface was uncommon in this era, most microcomputers at the time only being delivered with a hex keypad and 7-seg display.

The predecessor of Borland's very successful Turbo Pascal compiler and IDE for CP/M and MS-DOS was developed by Blue Label Software for the Nascom 2, under the name Blue Label Software Pascal, or BLS Pascal.
