1774 was from about 1967, and basically a six foot rack. 1784 was from about 1974, and about the same volume as a PDP-8/e. I think the Wiki article may be wrong about the date of the original 1700 systems (1704) being mid-1966. That seems late. When I get back home, I might look at the chunks I have to see if I can get date codes. > If that's not a minicomputer, I don't know what is. Wasn't minicomputer really a marketing term, anyway?
