Personally I would say the Zenith Z-100 from 1982 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenith_Z-100>. Because it had two CPUs (8085 8Bit and 8088 16Bit) so the user could run either CP/M or the so called Z-DOS. Although this was not compatible with MS-DOS there was a nice software library available. -- Andreas My random toughts and comments https://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/
