A list of Minicomputers

Attributed to Gordon Bell
A list of references - referred tp in the document, are at the bottom.

Here is Gordon's original list, with some models filled in from one of those 'every computer ever made' lists. Lots of little companies with no data on them..

======

91 US minicomputer company attempts from 1968 to 1972, with data from

http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/reach/435/complist.html

The following list Includes all general and special-purpose minicomputers for, real-time, communications, business etc., sold through QEMs, end users, and bundled for process control and testing, for example.

It does not include scores of military, AT&T, European, and Japanese computers.

At a later time, Tandem formed and array processing systems were developed for niche markets. 49 started up and retained autonomy
