"Vector was late in moving from machines with 8K processing to 16K, which had become the new industry standard." I was interested in S100 bus machines, but couldn't afford one! If I'd only known, I'd have borrowed to buy a Vector Graphic S100 back then, just for the novelty of having an 8192-bit CPU! ;-)

It was a clear sign that author doesn't know a difference between 8-bit CPU and 8K of RAM and what kind of transition was happening at the time.
