What are the really unusual or weird computers?

How many MPUs had no provision for interrupts?  The Rockwell PPS-8 is 
one that comes to mind.  What's surprising is that it was used in the 
Diablo dot-matrix printer--something you'd think that was a very good 
candidate for an interrupt-driven architecture.

Cheers,
Chuck
