minicomputer \
n . (
Computers )
a mid -
sized digital computer ;
at any given point in the development of computer technology ,
a minicomputer will be faster and have greater capacity than a {
microcomputer },
but will be slower and have less capacity than a {
mainframe computer }.

A computer built between about 1963 and 1987 ,
smaller and less powerful than a {mainframe }, typically about
the size and shape of a wardrobe , mounted in a single tall
rack .
Minicomputers were characterised by short {word } lengths of 8
to 32 {bits }, limited hardware and software facilities and
small physical size . Their low cost made them suitable for a
wide variety of applications such as industrial control , where
a small , dedicated computer which is permanently assigned to
one application , is needed . In recent years , improvements in
device technology have resulted in minicomputers which are
comparable in performance to large {second generation
computers } and greatly exceed the performance of {first
generation } {computers }.
The processor was typically built using low integration logic
integrated circuits } - {TTL } or maybe {ECL }, thus
distinguishing it from a {microcomputer } which is built around
a {microprocessor } - a processor on a single (or maybe a few )
ICs .
DEC }'s {PDP -1 } was the first minicomputer and their {PDP -11 }
was the most successful , closely followed (in both time and
success ) by the {VAX } (which {DEC } called a "{super
minicomputer }").
Another early minicomputer was the {LINC } developed at {MIT } in
1963 .
Other minicomputers were the {AS /400 }, the {PRIME } series , the
AP -3 }, {Olivetti }'s {Audit 7 } and the {Interdata 8 /32 }.
