If you are interested in the history of all of the DEC machines, from
the beginning of DEC through most of the 1970's, you will find it very
interesting to read the book "Computer Engineering, A DEC View of
Hardware Systems Design" edited by C. Gordon Bell, J. Craig Mudge, and
John E. McNamara.  It was published by Digital Press in 1978.
The title makes the book sound very technical, and the book does
contain a great deal of technical detail.  It also contains a great
deal of general historical information about the various DEC series of
computers.  It can be read with interest by computer people who do not
consider themselves to be engineers. It answers all of the questions
relative to DEC computers that I have seen posted to this newsgroup.
