Different CPUs on different spacecraft, mostly running a custom
spacecraft operating system (SCOS).  Google 'bektek'  and 'pacsats'
and you can find lots of information about the satellites--old and
new.

For eample:

http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/nk6k/msatmain.html

There is CPU and memory information there about the original microsats...

Tons of information out there, really.
