< Oh boy, taxonomy again! OK, here's my stab: < < Microprocessor: a single-chip CPU. What if the cpu is multiple chips aka LSI-11? < Microcomputer: a computer based on a single microprocessor. What if there are several performing different tasks in the same box. < Workstation: a computer designed to run Unix with a bitmapped display. What if it's a VAX running VMS? Yes the VS3100s were definatly workststions. < Minicomputer: a timesharing computer that can support fewer than 100 < simultaneous users. VAX and minicomputer that could and often did have more than 100 users. < Mainframe: a timesharing computer than can support 100 or more users < simultaneously. Generally big iron and most that had that distinction where physically large. AKA univac 1180. < and some finer grain classes: < .... < Embedded computer: a computer that requires cross-development in order t < reprogram. Maybe, or it can be a single board computer installed into a dedicated application. Generally term embedded means dedicated to a task(or set of tasks). One possible embedded machine is a national Nibble Basic or intel 8052ah (basic or forth) chip with a keyboard, LCD and EEPROM. Allison
