- DEC PDP-11/20 Minicomputer, 1970 - Digital Equipment Corporation's PDP 11 computers were popular, widely used machines in the era before personal computers. These 16-bit minicomputers ("mini" as opposed to the room-sized mainframe computers of the 1950s and '60s) were relatively inexpensive and were used for business (payroll, accounting), scientific, educational, and timesharing purposes. Many Americans were introduced to computing through PDP 11s installed at schools and offices beginning in 1970.

- LINC Main Console, 1963 - This transistorized computer was designed for use in medical and scientific laboratories. Created at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory by Wesley A. Clark and Charles Molnar, researchers could program the LINC to receive instant visual feedback in their own laboratory, rather than using timeshared systems. This LINC console was built by computer scientist Jerry Cox at the Central Institute for the Deaf.
