Is the CDC 1700 considered to be in the family of
"minicomputers"?
(i.e. was the word invented before then?).
Though functionally it sort of had the minicomputer nature, it
was physically a bit large for that term ? would have been
called a "process control" computer. I also don't think I heard the
word "minicomputer" until a couple of years after I first saw a CDC 1700.
