Rainbow

Rainbow definition - computer

Digital Equipment's original offering in the PC market. The Rainbow, released between 1982 and 1986, used an Intel 8088 to run MS/DOS, but could also run CP/M programs because its Z80 keyboard processor served as an alternate CPU. The Rainbow was not hardware-compatible with the IBM PC.
