The FM-8 (Fujitsu Micro 8) is a personal computer developed and manufactured by Fujitsu in May 1981.{{Cite web |title=FM-8 (1981) |url=https://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/corporate/history/products/computer/personalcomputer/fm8.html |access-date=2022-12-06 |website=Fujitsu Global |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=Fujitsu FM-8 |url=http://museum.ipsj.or.jp/en/computer/personal/0007.html |access-date=2023-02-10 |website=IPSJ Computer Museum}}{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8oc_AQAAIAAJ&q=fujitsu+FM-8+-wiki |title=Byte, Volume 7, Issues 4-6 |date=1982 |publisher=McGraw-Hill |pages=86 |language=en}} It was Fujitsu's second microcomputer released to the public after the LKIT-8 kit computer, and the first in the "FM" series. The FM-8 was an early adopter of bubble memory technology. The FM-8 would later be replaced by two new models in November 1982 – the FM-11, aimed at businesses and the FM-7 aimed at the mass market.{{cite web |title=Fujitsu FM-8 |url=https://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=377 |accessdate=2016-07-31 |publisher=OLD-COMPUTERS.COM: The Museum}}{{Cite web |title=FM-7 (1982) |url=https://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/corporate/history/products/computer/personalcomputer/fm7.html |access-date=2022-12-06 |website=Fujitsu Global |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=FM-11 (1982) |url=https://www.fujitsu.com/global/about/corporate/history/products/computer/personalcomputer/fm-11.html |access-date=2022-12-06 |website=Fujitsu Global |language=en}}
