----------------------------------------------------------------
This list is based two articles by Dr. Kenneth E. Knight in DATAMATION:
"Changes in Computer Performance", Sept. 1966 and "Evolving Computer
Performance 1963-1967", Jan. 1968.

His study evaluated cost vs performace and is not necessarily meant
to be a history of the computer.

His criteria for inclusion to the list were:
1. General purpose digital computers;
2. One configuration chosen of memory size, IO, arithmetic and control;
3. Important modifications affecting performance added at a later
   date considered a separate computer.

AFCno refers to a serial number which will be assigned when additions
to the list have ceased. For now an (*) will denote a machine not
on the Knight list.

KEKno refers to the serial number assigned to each computer type
by Dr. Knight.

The dates of introduction are defined as that when the completed
computer passed a minimal acceptance test.

I have added some which may or may not fit Knight's criteria or were
unknown to him. I have attempted to continue the list past 1967.

Thanks for additions and corrections to Tony Duell ([email-masked]).

>		EVERY DIGITAL COMPUTER TYPE EVER MADE

A quick perusal showed at least the following missing:

There were two models of the IBM 5100.  I can't remember the model
number for the other one (5110?), although someone else here probably
can.

IBM System 23 Datamaster.  I think circa 1979.

IBM System 34, 36, and 38.  No idea when these showed up, just that
they post-dated the System 32.

IBM RT, the first of the RISC machines (may it rest in hell).

The Kim kit computer.  This would have been around the same time as
the Apple I but after the Altair.

All of the Kaypro computers.  The Kaypro II was probably the most
influential -- first introduced in '83.  I suspect a lot of other CP/M
machines are missing.

DEC Rainbow, DECstation 5000, and all VAX models are missing.  The VAX
11/7xx is kind of conspicuous.

The Interleaf machines (Clipper is still rather fast).

Sun 1, 2, 3 and 386i.

All of the Apollo machines.

That's enough for now; the list looks pretty good into the 70s.
