Roy Clay Sr. is recognized as the Godfather of Silicon Valley. A key inventor at Hewlett-Packard (HP), he developed significant technologies, like the first integrated circuits for computers. He led the development of the HP 2116A minicomputer—the first computer sold by HP.

PDP-8 Minicomputer. Digital Equipment Corporation developed the minicomputer a revolutionary bridge between large scale mainframes and personal computers. This 12-bit DEC PDP-8 (1965) was the first commercially successful line of minicomputer, with over 50,000 units being sold.

Voice will never replace typing ... 👾 The world only needs five computers 👾 You can't do real work on a minicomputer 👾 You can't write fast software in C 👾 There's no reason anyone would want a PC in their home 👾 No one needs more than 640KB of RAM 👾 The mouse is for

The garage builder is always where the world changes. You are using garage software right now. Your Operating System has its brith in a garage. UNIX began its life on a scavenged PDP-7 minicomputer to run a space travel game. This is Ken Thompson changed the world…

They will connect an Altair 1975 minicomputer to Azure Cloud. Just because you can today 🤣 #msignite

The Interdata 7/32: A Pioneering 32-Bit Minicomputer for Affordable Scientific Computing

@historyinmemes Xerox created the Xerox Alto in 1973, a small minicomputer similar to a modern workstation or personal computer. This machine can be considered the first true Personal Computer, given its versatile combination of a cathode-ray-type screen, mouse-type pointing device, and a

what a Minicomputer looked like as at 1959.😂 PDP-1 & IBM 9375

Fascinating article from Evgenia Gubina about recent intel detailing the Russian V2U strike UAV. "A feature of the drone is its ability to autonomously search and select targets using artificial intelligence. The computing system is based on the Chinese minicomputer Leetop

I got this email from @ReadwiseReader and suddenly had that nostalgia. I read "The Soul of a New Machine" decades ago. It covered how Data General was trying to build a minicomputer with a ragtag group of engineers who were just excited to build something so From The Ground Up!

One of the godfathers of Silicon Valley was a Brotha named Roy L. Clay Sr. In the 1960s, when computers filled whole rooms and racism filled every room, Roy for Hewlett-Packard and built their first minicomputer — the HP 2116A. It put HP (and Silicon Valley itself) on the map.

The TUXEDO Nano Pro - Gen13 combines energy-saving yet powerful hardware with upgradable RAM and SSD storage options and an extensive ports selection in the smallest possible form factor. 👉 Find more information: https://t.co/ioZArJbm5B --- #minicomputer #linux #pc

A Minicomputer Tape Drive Receives Some Love#hackaday Taking on a refrigerator-sized minicomputer  is not for the faint-hearted, but [Usagi Electric] has done it with a DEC PDP-11/44. He’s not doing it in half measures either, for his machine is tricked… https://t.co/0zO8NiAFBZ

🎄💾🗓️ Day 4: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - The DEC PDP-11! 🎄💾🗓️ Released by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1970, the PDP-11 was a 16-bit minicomputer known for its orthogonal instruction set, allowing flexible and efficient programming. It introduced a Unibus

Ken Olsen (1926-2011) Most known for: Founder of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Key Milestones: 1957 - Founded DEC, pioneered minicomputers 1965 - Launched PDP-8, first successful commercial minicomputer 1977 - Introduced VAX architecture Fun Facts: • DEC was second

“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” Yeah, you read it right, I felt the same way too when I saw it🌝 In 1977, Ken Olsen, the founder of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) said that He was a pioneer of the minicomputer era Yet, he couldn’t see the

Russia Receives Upgraded Shahed-136 Drone With Thermal Guidance.The materials used in the fuselage and the design of the electronic components includes a high-performance Nvidia Jetson Orin minicomputer — optimized for AI and image processing — as well as an infrared camera

There are five main kinds of computers based on size: PC/Personal Computer, minicomputer, microcomputers, supercomputers and mainframe. Additionally, there are three different kinds of computers based on their capacity to manage data: A computer can be digital, hybrid or analog.
