<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''MICRAL N''' was a [[microcomputer]], perhaps the world's first commercially produced one. It was not really a [[personal computer]], as many early microcomputers were, as it was intended for use in [[embedded system]]s. It was a product of [[R2E]] (Réalisation d'Études Électroniques) in France, in early 1973.<br />
<br />
It was built around an [[Intel 8008]] [[microprocessor]].<br />
