What is mini computer?

The term mini computer is originated in 1960s.Initially mini computer were 8-bit machine but by 1970s almost all mini computer were 16-bit machine.
16-bit mini computer was more powerful machine which could be used in variety of applications and could support business applications along with scientific application.

The mini computer was used as a multi user system which can be used by various users at the same time.It allows 15 users to work at a time.

Gradually the architecture requirements of mini computer grew and 32-bit mini computer developed which was called super mini computer.

Ex-PDP-8,VAX7500.etc....

Digital computer v/s Analog computer

Analog computer don't have ability of digital computer to store data in large quantities,nor do they have the comprehensive logical facilities afforded by programming digital machine.although the arithmetic function perform by the computing unit are more complex in analogue machine than in digital system. Analog machine are design for specific applications but most electrical and electronic analog computer provide a number of different computing devices which can be connected together via plug board or provide different methods of operations for special problem. In digital machine number to be stored to be used in same calculations were represented by physical quantities such as electrical voltage.
