Regardless of CPU, since they have a keyboard, display and printer
interface as well as a floppy drive, wouldn't that qualify them for hack
status?  Some of the Brother and SCM WPs used 8051-family CPUs.  Amazingly
gutless wonders.  Some used Z-80 type CPUs, but remember that corners were
cut almost to bleeding to make these things inexpensive.
