Subject:Re[2]: Hi! What's a PDP-11? Anyone know? From:Arlen -dot- P -dot- Walker -at- JCI -dot- COM Date:Wed, 24 Jan 1996 06:08:00 -0600
There were plenty of other lines of minicomputers too. The Data
General Novas, the Varian 620 series, and the HP 2100 series were all
widely used in the 1970s, and were about as capable as a PDP-8 or
PDP-11.
HP is immune from this, but Data General could with some justice be placed
in the DEC family, as it was started by DEC employees.
Have fun,
