This is the first issue of BYTE Magazine from September 1975, preserved on the Internet Archive. The issue covers early microcomputer topics including a comparison of microprocessors (Intel 8008 vs 8080), cassette interfaces for bulk memory, writing your own assembler, surplus keyboard reuse, and hardware reviews. It also features an advertisement for Martin Research's MIKE 2 and MIKE 3 modular microcomputer kits, which offered a modular bus structure allowing users to upgrade from the 8008 to the 8080 processor. The issue represents a historical snapshot of the hobbyist computing era.
