Supermini
- A supermini is also a class of small car. See car classification.
A supermini (superminicomputer) by definition is "a minicomputer with high performance compared to ordinary minicomputers". The term was an invention used from the mid-1970s mainly to distinguish the emerging 32-bit minis from the classical 16-bit minicomputers. Reportedly coined by DEC at their VAX announcement in 1976, the term is now largely obsolete, but still remains of interest for students/researchers of computer history. Note that superminis should not be confused with the apparently, at first look, similarly named minisupercomputers.
