Peripheral Interchange Program (PIP) was a utility to transfer files on and between devices on Digital Equipment Corporation's computers. It was first implemented on the PDP-6 architecture by Harrison "Dit" Morse early in the 1960s.

In computing, DirectInput is a legacy [1] Microsoft API for collecting input from a computer user, via input devices such as the mouse, keyboard, or a gamepad.It also provides a system for action mapping, which allows the user to assign specific actions within a game to the buttons and axes of the input devices.
Charon is the brand name of a group of software products able to emulate several CPU architectures. The emulators available under this brand mostly cover the Digital Equipment DEC hardware platforms PDP-11, VAX, and AlphaServer, which support many of the legacy operating systems, including Tru64 and OpenVMS.
PDP-1 PDP-6 PDP-7 PDP-8/e PDP-11/40 PDP-12 PDP-15 (partial) PDP-15 graphics terminal with light pen and digitizing tablet. Programmed Data Processor (PDP), referred to by some customers, media and authors as "Programmable Data Processor," [1] [2] [3] is a term used by the Digital Equipment Corporation from 1957 to 1990 for several lines of minicomputers.
The PDP-14 was designed to process Boolean equations, usually expressed as “ladder diagrams” and as such had a programmable read-only program memory. Programs were developed using a PDP-8 then tested using a direct connection to the PDP-14. The PDP-14 was put into a check out mode where instructions were provided by the PDP-8.
PDP-10 systems on the ARPANET highlighted in yellow. Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC)'s PDP-10, later marketed as the DECsystem-10, is a mainframe computer family [1] manufactured beginning in 1966 [2] and discontinued in 1983.
During the life of the PDP-11, the 16-bit logical address space became an increasing limitation. Various techniques were used to work around it: Later-model PDP-11 processors include memory management to support virtual addressing. The physical address space was extended to 18 or 22 bits, hence allowing up to 256 KB or 4 MB of RAM.
