The IBM [[System/360]], announced in 1964, was a popular computer system with 24-bit addressing and [[32-bit]] general registers and arithmetic. The early 1980s saw the first popular personal computers, including the [[IBM Personal Computer AT|IBM PC/AT]] with an [[Intel 80286]] processor using 24-bit addressing and [[16-bit computing|16-bit]] general registers and arithmetic, and the [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[Macintosh 128K]] with a [[Motorola 68000]] processor featuring 24-bit addressing and 32-bit registers. Some late-1980s Apple computers such as the [[Macintosh SE/30]] and [[Macintosh IIx]] retained some 24-bit code in their [[ROM image|ROMs]] despite being advertised as 32-bit computers. As a result, these computers require the installation of the [[MODE32]] memory manager to address more than 8Mb of RAM.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=L. E.

The [[ARM1]], supported 24-bit memory address, as it can access 16MiB memory.
The [[eZ80]] is a microprocessor and microcontroller family, with 24-bit registers and therefore 24-bit linear addressing, that is [[binary-code compatibility|binary compatible]] with the [[8-bit|8]]/16-bit [[Z80]]. {{cn|date=September 2015}}
