- skissane 10y agoI presume it is really talking about PS/2 systems running OS/2 or AIX, even though they weren't commonly called "minicomputers".
- B1FF_PSUVM 10y agoRight, minicomputers were the fridge-sized Vaxen and their ilk. (Speaking of fridges, that was the era of 'computer rooms' with raised floors and positive pressure air conditioning at a fairly small scale - might have one serving one or two dozen people. Comms were poor.)
