Z1 biography, Z1 discography
The Z1 was a mechanical computer created by Konrad Zuse in 1936.Z1's ISA had nine instructions and its CPI ranged from 1 to 20.The Z1 was the first in a series of computers designed by Konrad Zuse.The computer had a 64 word floating point memory, where each word of memory could be read from and written to by the program punch cards and the control unit.The mechanical memory units were unique in their design and were patented by Konrad Zuse in 1936.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.BMW Technik GmbH and produced from July 1988 to June 1991.The Z1 featured unusual doors which, instead of opening outward or upward, dropped down into the door sills.Only 8,000 copies of the Z1 were produced.History

8.History
The first example of a Z1 was released by BMW to the press in 1986 and later officially presented at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show.In 1988, however, BMW was quoted as saying that they had 35,000 orders for Z1s.The development of the Z1 is attributed to Dr.Henryk Menke, Dieter Schaffner, Klaus Faust, Sabine Zemelka and Stephan Stark).Control of the project was turned over to Dr.Klaus Faust when Bez left for Porsche in October, 1988.The BMW Z1 was used to develop and debut several technologies.The Z in Z1 originally stood for Zukunft (German for future) and would later be used on other cars in the line: the Z3, Z4, and Z8).The chassis was specially designed for the Z1 and features a number of innovative features: removable body panels, continuously zinc welded seams, a composite undertray, and the unusual dropped doors.Parts of the car (including the engine, gearbox, and front suspension) were borrowed from the BMW E30 325i, but the Z1 remains largely original.The hood, trunk, and roof cover are GRP components made by Seger + Hoffman AG.During the Z1s launch, BMW suggested that owners purchase an additional set of body panels and change the color of the car from time to time.BMW noted that the body could be completely replaced in 40 minutes, although Z1 owners have reported that this may be optimistic.The entire vehicle was designed with aerodynamics in mind.The Z1 has a drag coefficient of 0.Doors
One of the most interesting features of the Z1 is its unusual doors.The inspiration for these doors came from more traditional roadsters which often feature removable metal or cloth doors.Because the body, with its high sills offers crash protection independent of the doors, the vehicle may be legally and safely driven with the doors up or down, although they are not legal in the U.The windows may be operated independently of the doors, although they do retract automatically if the door is lowered.Z1 by either upgrading or replacing the engine (see modification, below).Suspension
The rear suspension, called the Z Axle, was specially designed for the Z1.The instruments on the Z1 are styled like motorcycle gauges, and the tachometer on the Z1 has a red needle, whereas all other gauges have a white needle.Production
As mentioned above, BMW only produced 8,000 Z1s.The vast majority of these (6,443) were sold in BMW's native German market.None were initially sold in North America, although it is uncertain whether examples have been independently imported since the car's launch.There are reports that BMW built 12 Z1s during 1986 and 1987, bringing the total to 8,012 vehicles (Brossaud, 7).More than half of all Z1s (specifically, 4,091) were produced for the 1990 model year.Z1s were reportedly used as test mules, although most were later sold without a warranty and, presumably, at a lower price.The Z1 was available in six exterior colors and four interior colors, although the vast majority (6,177) were red, black, or green with a dark grey interior.German or fun yellow in English; 133 examples made) or red interior (38 examples made) are the rarest Z1 colors.Reportedly, some 1,101 Z1s were delivered without a factory radio installed.In these vehicles, BMWS AG installed an aftermarket radio in its place.Motorsport, Schnitzer and Kelleners reportedly had programs for the enhancement of the Z1.Alpina had a special arrangement with BMWS AG to modify BMW Z1s into RLEs, or Roadster Limited Edition.Alpina reports having built 66 of these, although BMW notes that 82 can be tracked through Alpina.Additionally, 16,000 phone cards (10,000 in February 1992 and 6,000 in November 1997) featuring pictures of the Z1 were issued in France.The BMW Z1 also had a very small part in the Jackie Chan film, Armour of God II: Operation Condor.BMW World reports that Z1s can be imported to the United States for show or display purposes.BMW Z1 (PDF) describes many obscure details about the Z1 (Also listed as Brossaud, below).BMW Z1 gives more practical repair and upgrade information.Z1 features construction information and a large list of links.Z1 is another page at BMW World with information about the Z1.BMW Z1 provides technical details on the Z1.Rowan Atkinson on the BMW Z1 is a commentary on the Z1 written by Rowan Atkinson and which appeared in The Independent on February 4, 1990.BMW Aktuell: Panorama Is BMW's official German language history page describing the Z1.Accessed on January 2, 2005.BMW Personenwagen seit 1952 Erstauflage.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Z1 is now a Top Secret Dealer!Contact Z1 for the best deals on the full range of products Top Secret has to offer.Make sure you check out the new Aero Kit for the 350Z as well, including a carbon hood for the 2007 + models.Z1's own 350Z achieves 303.With the vast majority of people going the route of forced induction, we wanted to explore the limits of NA goodness!AME FS01 wheels now in stock for the 350Z in silver, bronze and black!!!Our friends from Tri State Evo were out in full force at this event, bringing with them a huge collection of modded Evo's to wow the crowds with.Z1's own resident Evo guru Najeeb took home 2nd place with his awesome gleeming white IX MR, decked out in full JDM regalia.No caption needed for this one!Summer is in full swing, and we've got some awesome specials to keep you entertained while the weather is nice!After a cold and dreary winter, spring is finally here.Need help selecting that new mod?Let our team of experienced staff help!Z1 would like to thank all of its customers worldwide for helping to make this a great 2006.V1 (he later changed the name to Z1 in order
to avoid any connection with the V1 rocket).He had studied the available mechanical
calculating machines of that time, all of which were based on the decimal number system.From 1936 to 1938, my father constructed the Z1,
which worked on the principles discussed in Part 2.In many ways the Z1 was a remarkable
machine.Thus, the Z1 was the
first freely programmable, binary based machine in the world!The building blocks of the Z1
were thin metal sheets.The only one electrical unit was an electrical engine, which was used to provide
a clock frequency of one Hertz.Z1 was programmed via a punch tape and a punch tape reader.In 1986, Konrad Zuse decided to rebuild the
Z1 (Fig.Z1 was almost identical to that of his Z3
computer (discussed below), which was unfortunately destroyed in the Second World War.Note how it resembles a
modern silicon chip.Note how this block diagram

The Z1 is available in silver and black bodies.If you've read this far you already know when color camera I had.As you can see, the FinePix Z1 is one of the smallest cameras in its class!The lens here is is a F3.One thing you need to watch out for on this camera (and others like it) are your fingers.The FinePix Z1 features a large 2.While large in size, this screen isn't big on resolution, with just 115,000 pixels.Whether that bothers you or not is sort of a personal decision.Those three white circles aren't what they seem.Over here you'll find an infrared port (which is not used, apparently) and the wrist strap connector.Our tour ends with a look at the bottom of the Z1.As is usually the case, this compartment is covered by a pretty flimsy plastic door that could bust off if forced.The FinePix Z1 offers a traditional shot preview (minus a histogram) as well as a unique view that shows the current shot as well as the three previous photos you took.With high speed shooting turned on those numbers drop considerably to around 0.Now, let's take a look at the resolution and quality choices available on this camera.The SuperCCD HR sensor on the FinePix Z1 doesn't work like those used on previous Fuji cameras.This is, in my opinion, a good thing, as the interpolated image quality wasn't very good in the first place.There is no RAW or TIFF mode on the FinePix Z1, nor would I expect one.The FinePix Z1 has the same new menu system as the F10 which I just reviewed, and I'm not a huge fan of it.The layout is strange and navigating the menu just doesn't feel right.Speaking of scene modes, the natural light mode is quite handy.Now that's more like it!Natural light mode boosts the ISO as needed (up to 800) to allow for faster shutter speeds and therefore sharper pictures.I'll have more on the Z1's high ISO performance in a bit.Unlike the FinePix F10, the Z1 lacks the custom white balance option which comes in handy when shooting in my photo studio.Noise levels are reasonable here and purple fringing was not a problem at all.The FinePix Z1 keeps noise levels down through ISO 200.The ISO 800 image may still be a keeper if you use decent noise reduction software.Barrel distortion is fairly mild at the wide end of the Z1's lens.While the test chart showed a bit of corner softness, it was fairly minor in my real world photos.Overall the Z1's image quality is very good, though not as good as on the FinePix F10 which I reviewed previously.One of the Z1's strengths is how well it shoots at high ISO sensitivities.The two cameras do about the same at their lowest ISO levels, with perhaps the Coolpix being slightly cleaner.At ISO 400 the Z1 is less noisy than the S1, but the S1 is quite a bit sharper.View Full Size Image
For my last trick I'll show you what the Z1 looks like at ISO 800, the highest it can go.As you can see things are awfully noisy.While not quite as good as the F10 at high ISOs the Z1 still does better than the competition.Z1's image quality meets your expectations!The FinePix Z1 has an excellent movie mode.If you want longer movies and don't mind a lower resolution then try the 320 x 240 (30 fps) mode which doubles your recording time.As is usually the case, you cannot use the zoom lens during filming.Playback mode on the Z1 is typical of those on other cameras.The zoom and scroll feature lets you enlarge your image by up to 4.The Z1 only shows you basic exposure information for your photos.More info would've been nice, such as the shutter speed and aperture used.Just be prepared for some of the tradeoffs that come with owning a camera this small.It comes in both silver and black colors and it's small enough to go anywhere.Those of you who like having an optical viewfinder should know that, like many cameras in this class, the Z1 does not have one.The natural light mode is especially handy for those low light shots that always turn out blurry.One really nice feature on the Z1 is its VGA movie mode.Redeye is also a problem.Overall the Z1 compares well against the competition from Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and Sony, and it earns my recommendation.So be sure to check out the Z1 and the other cameras in this class in person, before you buy!As always, I recommend a trip down to your local reseller to try out the FinePix Z1 and it's competitors before you buy!Check out our huge photo gallery!If you have a question about this
