Picture of a DEC10 in large cabinet, and a tty. Text above the image : An all new DECsystem-10, the DECsystem 1080, just set an all new industry standard in timesharing. It's the first system tha t includes every major timesharing breakthrough of the past decade. Yet, remarkably, it costs about half what you'd expect to pay. How did Digital do it? By combining capabilities no one else could combine. Our minicomputer experience, our manufacturing economies, our systems architecture, and our experience of over ten years in large-scale timesharing. So now you can buy a low-cost timesharing system that includes not just one, but all of the following. • A more powerful central system employing mini and microprogramming technology with ECL 10,000 logic, MSI and cache memory. • An integral PDP 11/40 minicomputer dedicated to providing the most comprehensive machine diagnostics. • An advanced Business Instruction Set to handle the most demanding batch and business data processing tasks. • A host of high-performance disk and tape peripherals that facilitate optimum file integrity for most effective data base management, via our new DBMS-10 package. • A completely enhanced operating system offering
Announcing DECsystem 1080.
Every major timesharing breakthrough now in a single system.
