Is there a document that describes the various Siemens
Siemens/Nixdorf
computer families, with release dates?
Not that I know of. Hans Pufals list offers some hints, just it
does not cover all machines.
The late IBM-compatibles have some documentation, but
there isn't anything I
see on the web that gives the progression from the 4004 forwards, or the
Siemens 16-bit process control systems from the 70s.
There are still to many people in the management that have fought
one or the other battle in this history as that the company could
come up with a unified view of just, lets say the /370ish mainframes,
not to speek about all the other stuff. I mean, Siemens has been
active in literaly _any_ area of computing you may think of.
