===SCAMP===
In 1973, the [[IBM]] Los Gatos Scientific Center developed a portable computer prototype called SCAMP (Special Computer APL Machine Portable) based on the [[IBM PALM processor]] with a [[Philips]] compact cassette drive, small [[Cathode-ray tube|CRT]] and full function keyboard. SCAMP emulated an [[IBM 1130]] minicomputer in order to run APL\1130.<ref>{{cite web|last=Freeman |first=Shanna |url=http://computer.howstuffworks.com/first-portable-computer.htm |title=HowStuffWorks "What was the first portable computer?" |publisher=Computer.howstuffworks.com |date=2012-09-19 |access-date=2014-07-22}}</ref> In 1973, [[APL (programming language)|APL]] was generally available only on mainframe computers, and most desktop sized microcomputers such as the [[Wang 2200]] or [[HP 9800 series|HP 9800]] offered only [[BASIC]]. Because SCAMP was the first to emulate APL\1130 performance on a portable, single user computer, ''PC Magazine'' in 1983 designated SCAMP a "revolutionary concept" and "the world's first personal computer".<ref>''PC Magazine'', Vol. 2, No. 6, November 1983, ‘’SCAMP: The Missing Like in the PC's Past?‘’</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/pc/pc_2.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050126094625/http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/pc/pc_2.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 26, 2005 |title=IBM Archives: IBM 5100 Portable Computer |date=23 January 2003 |publisher=03.ibm.com |access-date=2014-07-22}}</ref> The engineering prototype is in the [[Smithsonian Institution]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.si.edu/object/nmah_334628 |title= IBM SCAMP, National Museum of American History | publisher= Smithsonian Institution |date= |access-date= 2023-02-15}}</ref>
