Abstract

Recently several minicomputer manufacturers have introduced quite powerful and extremely versatile minicomputers that possess characteristics privy to medium and large scale computing systems. These characteristics include multi-addressing modes, stack operations, flexible input out put control, writable control stores and others. Emerging concurrently are the blessings of user-microprogrammable minicomputers. Quite predictably, future minicomputer systems may differ from maxi-computers solely on the basis of physical size.
