Vilnius BASIC on a BK-0010.01. The BK series is a bare-bones machine, with no peripherals or programming tools.The only software available at the launch, except read-only memory (ROM) firmware, is an included magnetic tape with several programming examples (for the languages BASIC and FOCAL), and several tests.
Computer systems from the Ministry of Instrument Making: [1] Aragats (Арагац) Iskra (Искра) — common name for many computers with different architecture Iskra-1030 — Intel 8086 XT clone; KVM-1 (КВМ-1) SM EVM (СМ ЭВМ) — most models were PDP-11 clones, while some others were HP 2100, VAX or Intel compatible
College campuses used computer mainframes in education since the initial days of this technology, and throughout the initial development of computers. The earliest large-scale study of educational computer usage conducted for the National Science Foundation by The American Institute for Research concluded that 13% of the nation's public high schools used computers for instruction, although no ...
The term supermini computer or simply supermini was used to distinguish more powerful minicomputers that approached mainframes in capability. Superminis (such as the DEC VAX or Data General Eclipse MV/8000) were usually 32-bit at a time when most minicomputers (such as the PDP-11 or Data General Eclipse or IBM Series/1) were 16-bit.
Although the designers of the Radio-86RK had developed a new 16-bit computer, the Micro-16 (based on the K1810VM86 microprocessor, with a CGA-compatible graphics mode that was capable of running software for the CP/M-86 and MS-DOS), [22] the editorial board again opted for a computer based on the 8-bit processor KR580VM80. The main reason for ...
The 11/45 architecture expanded to allow 4 MB of physical memory segregated onto a private memory bus, 2 KB of cache memory, and much faster I/O devices connected via the Massbus. PDP–11/34 (1976 [15]) and PDP–11/04 (1975 [15]) – Cost-reduced follow-on products to the 11/35 and 11/05; the PDP–11/34 concept was created by Bob Armstrong ...
The first digital electronic computer was developed in the period April 1936 - June 1939, in the IBM Patent Department, Endicott, New York by Arthur Halsey Dickinson. [35] [36] [37] In this computer IBM introduced, a calculating device with a keyboard, processor and electronic output (display). The competitor to IBM was the digital electronic ...
The Heathkit H11 Computer is an early kit-format personal computer introduced in 1978. It is essentially a Digital Equipment PDP-11 in a small-form-factor case, designed by Heathkit . The H11 is one of the first 16-bit personal computers , at a list price of US$1,295, [ 2 ] (equivalent to $6,050 in 2023) but it also requires at least a computer ...
