A company called Varian Corp made all sorts of electronic equipment in the 1970's,
including computers. Sperry Rand Corp. bought them out in 1977 and suddenly UNIVAC had a
minicomputer line. But Varian did the same thing to get into the mini business, Varian
bought Data Machines Inc.
Varian had their popular V77 line started when Sperry bought them.

Does anyone know anything about the UNIVAC minicomputer(s)? I didn't know there was
such a thing as a UNIVAC minicomputer, until I came across a picture of one in a book the
other day.
