Fascinating. I read Byte Magazine, among others, back in the late 70's and 80's and I don't recall ever running across "mainframe" as a synonym for "CPU" or seeing it applied to mini- and micro-computers. I won't dispute the OP's citations from Byte, obviously, but I have to think it wasn't that common.
