Although the company produced many product lines over their history, they are best known for their work in the minicomputer market starting in the mid-1960s. The company produced a series of machines known as the PDP line, with the PDP-8 and PDP-11 being among the most successful minis in history. Their success was only surpassed by another DEC product, the late-1970s VAX "supermini" systems that were designed to replace the PDP-11.
Description: Byte Magazine started in 1975,shortly after the first personal computers began appearing as kits advertised in the back of electronics magazines. Whereas many magazines were dedicated to specific systems or the home or business user's perspective, Byte covered developments in the entire field of small computers and software, and sometimes other computing fields such as supercomputers and high-reliability computing. Coverage was in-depth with much technical detail, rather than user-oriented. Byte was purchased by in 1979, an event that led to many of the early computer magazines being swooped up by larger publishers. Like many magazines, Byte suffered in the '90s due to declining ad sales, leading to the publication's demise in 1998.
