Applied Technology was founded by Owen Hill in 1975 in Australia. He was a pioneer producer of home computers that ran CP/M on Zilog Z80 microprocessors.[1] Their MicroBee computer (1982) was the first commercial personal computer manufactured in Australia.[2][3][4] The computers were used by schools in Australia and Sweden and by BMW car dealers in Australia.[5]

It was later known as Microbee Systems, Microworld and Honeysoft.[1][6][7]

Some models of mid-1980s are Applied Technology S100, Micro Bee 32IC, Micro Bee 128K, "Computer in a Book" and the 256TC.[6]
