Prime 750

The Prime 750 was a major upgrade. It ran at 1.0 MIPS, had 2-8MB of memory and 1200MB of disc storage and a 9 track tape unit. This was very competitive with a similarly priced DEC VAX-11/780 and was one of the first 32-bit superminicomputers. Prime 750 systems were installed at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), University of Paisley, Leeds University, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) and the CADCentre in Cambridge.
