Abstract :
Since its commercial introduction in 1965, the minicomputer has revolutionized data processing. Its compact size and low cost have permitted the development of dedicated systems to meet specialized data processing requirements ranging from communications control, instrument data acquisition, and small business accounting to hotel reservations management and operating racetrack tote boards.
