The MARCH collection of microprocessor evaluation kits

MARCH has a wonderful collection of computer trainers,
microprocessor evaluation kits, development kits,
single board computers, hobbyist kits and homebrews from the 70s and 80s.

An evaluation kit from the chip maker is typically the first product to feature
new microprocessors & microcontrollers for engineers & hobbyists to try them out
(similar to today's badge, gumstick and single-board form-factor prototype systems).

The MARCH collection represents the diversity of CPU manufacturers and architectures that were vying for the market before the IBM PC dominated the scene, forcing everyone into being IBM-compatible (now merely x86 compatible). Well, except for Apple. And mainframes. And embedded systems …
