I had thought it did, but looking on google it appears that it has
a fixed RAM and ROM space... rather capacious compared to my usual
needs.

Oh, let's see:

8008, 8080, 8085, z80, 8041, 8048, 8051, 1802, 6800, 68020, 68030, 6502,
8088, 8086, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, 80586, 80686, 16C731, 16C732,
16C733, 12F675, 16F676, 16F628, 16F690, ...

Does a PDP-8/E count as a micro?  How about an IBM-360 ;-)

There were others, really weird stuff, but I can't think of them off the
top of my head.

And you?
