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 [[Intel 80286|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 [[Motorola 68000|68000]] processor featuring 24-bit addressing and 32-bit registers.
 
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}}
