Pascal Micro Engine
The Pascal MicroEngine was a series of microcomputer products manufactured by Western Digital from 1979 through the mid-1980s, designed specifically to efficiently run the UCSD p-System. Whereas other microcomputers ran a machine language p-code interpreter, the Pascal Microengine had its interpreter implemented in microcode, so p-code was effectively its native machine language.
As usual on the p-System, the most common programming language used was Pascal.
The MicroEngine ran a special release III p-System, which was not used on any other platforms. However, the enhancements of release III were incorporated into release IV which was made available for other platforms but not for the MicroEngine.
