Written by computer pioneer Gordon Bell, who went on to oversee development of the VAX, this historic book traces the evolution of Digital Equipment Corporation's computer systems from the
Lincoln TX-2
back in 1958 all the way to the microprocessor-based LSI-11. In addition to numerous tables, charts,
schematics, and code listings
, the book is filled with
photos of each model, both exterior and interior,
and their associated
circuit boards/flip-chip modules
